Can Ohanaeze Ndigbo Ever Support, Endorse Yoruba Presidential Candidate Over Igbo One? Fani-Kayode Asks Afenifere Acting Leader, Adebanjo

The Head of the Extraordinary Media Ventures of the Tinubu/Shettima Official Mission Chamber, Femi Fani-Kayode, says Ohanaeze Ndigbo, an Igbo socio-social association in Nigeria won’t support and back a Yoruba official up-and-comer over an Igbo one.

A group of the container Yoruba socio-social gathering, Afenifere has embraced the official competitor of the Work Party, Peter Obi as its decision for the 2023 political race.

Obi is from the Southeastern piece of Nigeria.

As of late, the official up-and-comer of the All Moderates Congress, Bola Tinubu, visited the head of Afenifere, Reuben Fasoranti in Akure, Ondo State.

During the visit, which was transformed into a smaller than usual political meeting by Tinubu’s overflowing escort and the Afenifere bosses who got him, the previous legislative head of Lagos was supported by certain heads of the gathering.

Fasoranti and different heads of the gathering likewise petitioned God for his progress in the 2023 political decision.

Fani-Kayode in a proclamation on Sunday questioned the activity of the group of Dad Ayo Adebanjo that prior embraced Obi.

As indicated by him, the expense of supporting Obi is exceptionally high and may wind up annihilating the solidarity, adequacy, utility and believability of the container Yoruba association.

At any point he said, “Could the Afenifere of old have upheld a non-Yoruba competitor in an official political race? For what reason do we need to slice our nose to demonstrate hatred for our face?

“Just in light of the fact that you disdain or jealousy Bola Ahmed Tinubu doesn’t mean we should deny the whole Yoruba race a turn the Administration. Furthermore, regardless of whether Tinubu outraged you in the past can we not pardon? You know very well that Peter Obi can’t win the official political race and by supporting him in the West you are parting our base and opening the entryway for an Atiku Administration.

“Is that what you need? Do Nigeria and the Yoruba, whose interest you should further and secure, not merit better compared to that? Could you at any point comprehend or value the ramifications of an Atiku Abubakar Administration for our kin and for the country for the most part?

“Have you thoroughly considered it? Do you comprehend how might affect all of us? At any point i’m an extraordinary ally of the handshake across the Niger yet the accompanying inquiry should be posed: could Ohanaeze support and back a Yoruba official competitor well beyond an Igbo one?

“You endeavor to legitimize your situation by saying that you base it on reasonableness, equity and value however do they not say he who comes to value should confess all hands? Are Obi’s hands clean? Does he try and like the Yoruba?

“Has he, all through his particularly unacceptable period in open office as Legislative leader of Anambra state, recognized any clan or ethnic identity, including his own?”

He added that a loss and shame for Tinubu is a loss and a shame for each Yoruba man in the nation and in the more extensive world.

“This is particularly so given the way that the South West is one of the two points of support which the party lays on and which has given a strong groundwork to its prosperity. Could it be said that we are to discard all that and cast off the desires of our kin on the change of miniature drafting and needing to right what many have portrayed (counting myself) as a verifiable wrong?

“At the point when the fearless Southern Lead representatives met across partisan loyalties in Asaba last year and requested a power shift they didn’t say it should go toward the South West, South or South East. They didn’t miniature zone it and they didn’t say that main South Eastern competitors ought to be thought of.

“They freed it up to each child and little girl of the South including the Yoruba. What’s more, neither did they say the competitor should be a Christian or a Muslim: they freed it up to both. Again when the caring and heroic Northern Legislative heads of the APC demanded a power shift toward the South, they never said it should go to a specific one of the three Southern zones: they freed it up to the whole South and Bola Tinubu won the selection in a free and fair political decision at the party Show.

“Is it safe to say that we are, as APC individuals and pioneers, intended to walk out on that and deceive our party just on the grounds that Afenifere says as much? Could it be said that we are intended to go about as though we host no gathering and that we have no steadfastness to our aggregate and normal reason as a political affiliation? Could it be said that we are to act as though we have no faithfulness or fairness and would we say we are supposed to endeavor to undermine the desire of our party individuals as articulated, reflected and laid out at our Public Show?

“Without a doubt not. Also, anybody that is trusting that that will happen will stand by for eternity. I earnestly trust that our cherished forerunners in Afenifere will reconsider. They know the amount we love, worship and regard them and they should support and support that demeanor and warmth by showing somewhat more flexiblity and regard for the perspectives on others. The expense of supporting Obi is extremely high and may wind up annihilating the solidarity, viability, utility and believability of the whole association itself.

“This is particularly so when the old chief, Dad Reuben Fasoranti, has organized a rebound and has said he doesn’t acknowledge the choice of Dad Ayo Adebanjo, the new. In the event that there was ever a period for the Yoruba to ‘Ronu’ (think), this is all there is to it. There isn’t anything that is respectable, honorable, motivating or exquisite in seeing and hearing elderstatesman who are all around the age of 90 and every one of whom we hold in high regard, differing and battling openly over issues that they should have had the option to lay out an expansive and friendly agreement.

“Do we truly need one more nasty, horrendous, ceaseless, fratricidal and enormous fight and division in our positions as a group and ethnic identity as we have had on such countless events in our overwhelmed and checkered past? Has this agonizing and damned infighting not been excessively exorbitant for us throughout the course of recent years and has such division not conclusively impacted the fortunes of the Yoruba as well as the whole country?

“Anybody that knows the historical backdrop of our country can bear witness to that. We followed through on a horrendous cost for such a quarrel and division in the First, Second and Third Republics and many lives were lost: presently we are planning to do everything over again in the Fourth. We can’t stand to keep on stepping this terrible, blood-craving, blood-stained and rancorous past which is as a rule fuelled by only trivial competition, envy, sharpness, unforgiveness, self image, awful beauty and vaulting individual desires.

“We can’t and should not leave our child Bola Tinubu during such a critical point in time and this is particularly so after he has accomplished such a great deal for our kin and race throughout the long term. A loss and shame for Tinubu is a loss and a shame for each Yoruba man in the nation and in the more extensive world. Is that what Afenifere needs? To shame its own? Does it give them delight to eliminate the pants of their own kid before the world and embarrass him? Is a dad not intended to secure and sustain the fortunes of his child?

“Did the dad not excuse and reclaim even the intemperate child? Discarding your own isn’t a goodness: it is a bad habit. Furthermore, doing as such with smugness while endeavoring to legitimize it before the world with some sort of misleading and counterfeit valid anger is unsuitable. It isn’t simply, there’s something wrong with it, it is unreasonable, it isn’t sensible, it isn’t legitimate, it isn’t faultless and it looks extremely abnormal and terrible.

“It is additionally humiliating. We should introduce a unified front and stand on the side of our own and we should introduce him to Nigeria as one and in one accord to guarantee that they vote in favor of and support him. We should get his base and we should expand on it by contacting each and every piece of Nigeria. That is the reason that a reverred and honorable establishment like Afenifere should be chasing after and no other. However on the off chance that the honestly, regardless of Afenifere Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will win and by God’s effortlessness, will win the official political race.”
