This is coming few days after another South-West Group, Afenifere led by an Elder Statesman, Chief Ayo Adebanjo openly declared that it ‘ll not support Tinubu’s Presidential Ambition because it is the turn of the South-East to produce Nigeria’s Next President putting into consideration fairness, equity and justice.
Adebanjo also stated that the South-West has produced Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo and the Incumbent Vice-president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo while the South-East is yet to occupy any of the Two Positions since 1999.
As a Yoruba Man, It Is expected that the OPC should support Tinubu’s Presidential Ambition, But According to it’s Spokesman, Oguntimehin the Gani Adams-led Group will not endorse or mobilize for any politician contesting for Presidency regardless of his tribe. Oguntimehin insisted that Nigeria’s problem can only be solved through restructuring. He added that each Region should be allowed to develop at it’s own pace.
