Recently, the spokesman of
the All Progressive Congress (APC) Alhaji Lai Mohammed came on air to allege
that a group; Afenifere is planning, in collaboration with some undemocratic
elements to destabilize the South West, pronto, the spokesman of the group,
Yinka Odumakin, instead of addressing the issues poured invectives on Alhaji
Lai. Mohammed.
Some of us were taken
aback by the response of Mr. Yinka Odumakin which didn't address the issues but
the messenger and we took it as part of the absurdities of the Nigerian state
where anything goes.
However, while not dismissing the allegations
raised by Alhaji Lai Mohammed against this group, we decided to be vigilant to
their activities and their latest attack against the person of Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu, who expressed his opinion like millions of Nigerians that this GEJ
proposed national conference might be a ruse to fool the people in view of the
fact that President Jonathan’s party is in tatters and knowing that his
goodwill is gone like a candle in the wind, he has decided to throw up this
joker.
Before now, a lot of Nigerians have become
suspicious of this new found romance of GEJ with national conference and we all
expressed our fears, even Femi Falana admonished us all to be wary of this
Greek gift from President Jonathan and we have all resolved to be vigilant lest
we be taken for a ride again.
However, this singular attack on Asiwaju for
exercising his freedom of speech by Mr. Yinka Odumakin is already confirming
that really this group has motives that do not wish Yorubaland peace and good,
but we will like to admonish Yinka Odumakin and company to retrace their steps
and join hands with other progressive groups for the good of Yorubaland.
He who has ears, let him
hear.
