Yoruba leaders across political divides in Nigeria are coming together under the ”Yoruba Patriots Movement” to present a common front in negotiations and alliances to reposition the South West ahead of 2019 general elections.

Rising from a National Colloquium held in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, notable Yoruba leaders of thoughts agreed that there was an urgent need for the Yoruba nation to be united and present a common agenda for sectoral improvement especially in education.

The National Colloquium with the theme, ‘Resetting the Yoruba Nation’s Agenda for Rapid. Systematic and sustainable Development’, brought together notable leaders of thought in Yoruba land across several party platforms.

The National coordinator of the group Dr. Dosu Ladipo, laid emphasis on the agenda for the forum.

The Chairman of the Colloquium, Bisi Akande, said it was time to close ranks and put forward a Yoruba agenda capable of achieving even development of the region and engendering National progress.

In their separate presentations, Ambassador Yemi Faronbi and Dr. Kunle Olajide bemoaned the state of the Yoruba race in the present day Nigeria, claiming that the race has become a target for oppression and is being neglected.

But are these not the chaps currently running the region? Are the governors and politicians in the region from Gambia? Why have they not worked for the people all this time? Another talking shop for regional politicians while the poor suffer!

They have no issue with the region but want to have a bigger share in the federal cake. Their aim is not for the regional citizens but to ride on the region to get National cake.


I wish them well!
