Notable Yoruba leader and founder, Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC, Dr. Frederick Fasehun has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to take urgent steps to address alleged marginalization of the South-west geo-political zone under his administration to save his political career, especially, ahead of the 2019 presidential election. While speaking in a recent interview, Fasehun also dismissed reports that he is reportedly putting together a conference at the instance of Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, the National Leader of All Progressives Congress, APC.
When asked about the conference in relation to Tinubu, Frederick Fasehun said, “What is that supposed to mean? That Tinubu is sponsoring me to organize the conference, or that the conference is being put together to promote Tinubu’s interests, insult. What an insult. What’s my business with Tinubu? We are not on the same page politically. Tinubu can never sponsor me. At my age; I’m now over 80 years, nobody can buy me. Nobody can gag me, I will say nothing but the truth and damn the consequence. I will satisfy my conscience and not anybody’s interests.
“Of course, some of us felt bad about the way Tinubu is being treated within APC. But if Tinubu had listened to us that time, when we cautioned him against leading the people of the south-west to form alliance with Buhari, what is happening to him today would have been averted. But then what has happened, Tinubu is still one of us, an eminent Yoruba son, we can only reprimand him, we can’t abandon him to the wolves. Tinubu like every other mortal is not perfect, he may have his faults, but morally it is not good that he should be treated badly and even to the extent of being marginalized after helping APC to get political power.”
