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,
Senate President, Joseph Wayas- Cross River State.
Speaker, House of Representatives Edwin Ume-Ezeoke from Anambra State.
The Yoruba were proud and dignified in opposition. Not for one day, begging for seats or sympathy.
They accepted the CONSEQUENCES of their voting choices, with dignity.
They did not scream about equity and fairness.
The difference is some people have pride and dignity.
