Following allegations of marginalization and neglect of the
South-West levelled against the Jonathan administration by Yoruba elders
operating under the aegis of the Yoruba Unity Forum (YUF), Wednesday in
Ibadan, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on public
affairs, Dr Doyin Okupe has blamed the leadership of the Action Congress
of Nigeria (ACN) for the marginalization of Yoruba people; not
President Jonathan.
According to him, “the issue of marginalisation of the South-West was
a political misadventure and political accident, brought about by the
Yoruba themselves. If you would recollect, the Yoruba were supposed to
produce the Speaker of the House of Representatives, which is the number
four position in Nigeria.”
“But due to the political mishandling of the leadership of the Yoruba
and also the sabotage of the Yoruba people by the Yoruba leadership. I
am talking about the people in the ACN now. The Yoruba people in the ACN
conspired against the Yoruba people and allowed the position to be
taken away. That is the beginning of marginalisation.”
“You see, when people sit down to share what is not enough and you
don’t have anybody to speak for you, there is a problem” he explained.
