In 1979,the SW voted against Shagari in the Federal Elections . He won and their leader, Obafemi Awolowo, went into opposition with dignity and did NOT BEG for so called FAIRNESS and EQUITY.
What did the Igbos do?
They did a deal with Shagari and were rewarded with the Speaker of the House of Reps from NPP - Azikiwe's party.
So we Had President Shehu Shagari, Sokoto State,

One state, One people Had the VP and Speaker and no Yoruba called them "GREEDY" or BETRAYERS. It has happened before. It is not new!!
The difference is some people have pride and dignity.
