On Raufu Aregbesola, a non Yorùbá man parading himself as Yorùbá. President of the Young Yorùbá for Freedom YYF Adeyinka Grandson wrote this on 22nd of November 2020:

He said;

“The notion that the Yoruba people are always against each other is false and misleading. It is actually the Yoruba who are half-Yoruba and non-Yoruba disguised as Yoruba people who are always against the full blooded Yoruba people.

Most Yoruba attacking Tinubu are not Yoruba. A lot of them are half Yoruba and the list goes on and on. More recently, Gani Adams and Raufu Aregbesola.

The actual name of Gani Adams is Ganiyu Adamu. He is not a Yoruba man, but a Nupe man. His father’s name was Lamidi and his grandfather was Adamu and they were both of Nupe.

Ganiyu Adamu conveniently worked for Jonathan, an Ijaw to become the President of Nigeria in 2015. He worked like a slave for Atiku, a Fulani to become the President of Nigeria in 2019. He opposes making Tinubu president of Nigeria in 2023. Ganiyu Adamu’s action against Tinubu is expected of a non-Yoruba who passes himself off as a Yoruba.

Raufu Aregbesola was Lagos State Commissioner for 8 years and elected Osun State Governor for 8 years with permission from Asiwaju Tinubu. But he is not a Yoruba man.

Aragbesola’s father was Yusuf Alli of Ebiraland. The mother was the former Miss Aregbesola of Ileogbo along the route to Iperindo under the local government of Aiyedire in Osun State.

The father of Aregbesola, Yusuf Alli, moved to Ileogbo and married the former Miss Aregbesola. Raufu Aregbesola adopted his mother’s maiden name to disguise the fact that he is a man from Ebira.

To undermine Tinubu, a full-blooded Yoruba, the Fulani minority finds Ganiyu Adamu of Nupe and Raufu Aregbesola of Ebira as helpful tools because of their diluted blood not being Youba.

Aregbesola was anointed by Buhari and the Fulani to take over from Buhari in 2023.

It is very unusual to see the Yoruba with pure Yoruba blood attacking Tinubu. Most of those who have continued to attack him and pretend to be Yoruba are actually non-Yoruba or half-Yoruba.

It is wrong to say that the Yoruba people are always opposed to one another. This is untrue and deceptive. We love one another. Those who are not pure Yoruba blood are the ones used by the Ißo and Fulani to destroy Yorubaland.

Our natural leaders led by the Ooni and Alaafin must remove Ganiyu Adamu as the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland because he is not a Yoruba man. It will teach the half-Yoruba people who work with foreigners to destroy Yorubaland to either think Yoruba first or leave Yorubaland.

Note: Take a moment to check out your Yoruba friends on social media who are always attacking Tinubu while praising the Ißo and Fulani. They are mostly non-Yoruba or half-Yoruba.”
