The treacherous currents of Yoruba politics is out again as usual. The two possible presidential candidates from the South west have become objects of ridicule in the media / social by Yorubas. The Yorubas are the ones setting the fire. Anyim Pius, Orji Kalu, Dave Umahi...
Have declared for the same position and we haven't seen such attacks coming from their zone or the South South. The northerners will support their candidate without any grudge and they are watching the silliness unfold. The South East will solidly queue behind their party...
Yorubas are the ones running from one TV station to another cooking up propaganda. The VP enjoys greater affection from the Northerners compared to the Yorubas. Even as a Christian, its hard to hear anyone preach against him in the North. Here in the S'west, pastors rubbish him..
His biggest PR challenge has always been the S' West branch of CAN. People aren't attacking you, you are the ones attacking yourself, on what basis? Jagaban and the VP have both visited Kano, they were welcomed but here "political analysts" are wailing on radio daily.
Why are they not wailing in the south East about Orji Kalu or Pius Anyim? They have their baggage but you can step into the ring with them if you are better. It's a free world !! The day a northerner declares to run, the region will either support or ignore.
For the Yorubas, they can't ignore. They must attack the personality and kill the prospect. They claim to be the wisest but they are the most ignorant, the most selfish and the most divided.
