Elder statesman and one of the leading voices in the South
West, Ayo Adebanjo has rubbished National Leader of the
All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu for
joining force with the Northern region to make President
Muhammadu Buhari emerge in the 2015 Presidential
election.
Speaking during an interview with The Sun, Adebanjo
alleged that Tinubu’s alliance with the North was a mistake,
adding that Northerners are against others ruling them.
Adebanjo said: “The purpose of the South going into an
alliance with the North is different from why the North
enters into any alliance with the South. It is like the
foolishness of Tinubu when I warned him from going into
alliance with them. He thought he was going to make use
of Buhari and Buhari knew that he was going to make use
of him.
“He has the mistaken belief which I still believe that he is
still having now that if I go along with them, Buhari would
allow him become the president. He is just deceiving
himself. It can never be until we arrive at how we are going
to have it.
“They have not been reading, when we told them that
Sauduana said he was going to rule the country until he
drops the Quran in the sea, they thought we were joking.
When we told them about Buhari, they thought we were
joking.
“Go and see when the North has been clamouring to rule
the country. They do not want to share. If they say they
want to go into alliance, they are just finding a way to put
you in their pockets. Go and ask Tinubu what Buhari is
doing now with this administration.
“Would he be honest to say that he is following what they
agreed on? APC has legacy parties; what did they agree
upon. Did they agree upon the fact that majority of the
security posts must be Fulani as it is now. You media men
should be asking questions.”
