Surprisingly, it provokes deep
curiosity that the present day political leadership of the same Yoruba nation
is gleefully negating and undermining the same group interest or entitlement of
their people in desperate pursuit of political witch-hunting. In fact, it
defies rationality that the hitherto described sophisticated and united Yoruba
politicians could today disagree and bicker to the extent of sacrificing, for
some selfish and frivolous reasons, their larger group interest to the
advantage of other contending regional interest in the country which the
emergence of Honourable Aminu Tambuwal as the speaker of House of
Representatives confirms.
“Tinubu used his political muscle to
convince gullible Yoruba legislators to vote against a
Yoruba woman, Mulikat Akande, in a post that was specifically designed by the
PDP as a benefit for Yoruba. He then got the same mumu Yoruba politicians to
vote instead for Aminu Tambuwal; a scion of the Sokoto Caliphate with
Hausa/Fulani agenda. This is something that could never have happened the other
way around. It is inconceivable that a Hausa/Fulani legislator would be
persuaded to give something that has been zoned to Hausa/Fulani to a Yoruba
man. To put it bluntly, the Huasa/Fulanis are not stupid” – Femi Aribisala.
