Statement by Alaafin, Oba Adeyemi to Tinubu is unfortunate

A statement credited to the Alaafin, Oba Adeyemi, that “our ancestors are with you [Tinubu]” is unfortunate. If the Yoruba ancestors are with a man who chose to be quiet and ignores the killings of Yoruba people then our ancestors have lost the relevance to us. However, instead of blaming the ancestors because of Alaafin’s statement we ought to interrogate the statement properly.

 

Ahmed Bola Tinubu has never made any statement condemning the Fulani herdsmen criminal activities in Yorubaland since the beginning of their brutality and heinous crime against our people. Tinubu has not visited Ibarapa area of Oyo State or any part of Yorubaland where Fulanis have engaged in killing spree or issue press release about the unbelievable crimes by Fulanis herdsmen; the killings of our people. He has made several visits to the northern areas where similar killings have taken place. Is that what a good leader of the people should do?

 

What makes our respected Kabiyesi, the Alaafin of Oyo think Bola Tinubu has stood with Yoruba people when their enemies are killing them? Even the Alaafin of Oyo has complained that Fulanis who were apprehended and handed to the police were later released. Why is Bola Tinubu remain quiet when Fulanis perpetrating evil against Yoruba people, but we should believe now that our ancestors are with him?



What manner of ancestors are our revered Kabiyesi talking about? Should we believe that our ancestors will prefer to be with anyone who doesn’t care or seek for the preservation of Yoruba people?

If answers to these questions are in the negative, then our respected Alaafin of Oyo, Iku baba yeye, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi has made a poor judgement by claiming that our ancestors are with Ahmed Bola Tinubu.

 

Kaabbiyyessi o, 🙏🙏🙏with due respect to you, sir, our ancestors can not be with a man who have shown no interest in the preservation, the safety and protection of Yoruba people which you, Kabiyesi, has spoken critically about before.

 

To be fair to Tinubu, the safety and well-being of Yoruba people is not the responsibility of Ahmed Bola Tinubu. The government basic responsibility is protection of lives and properties. The government has failed woefully to stop the barbarians from brutalizing our people. A man, in this case Ahmed Bola Tinubu who wants to be president of Nigeria ought to recognize that he should be seen, heard and recognized as someone who will stand to the killers, criminals and brutish people who wants to destroy Yoruba people.

 

Instead, Ahmed Bola Tinubu has remained quiet and offer no sympathy to communities in Yorubaland where Fulani herdsmen have done evil things – killings, slaughter, and kidnapping. This is one of the reason we believe that Yoruba Nation is the answer to problems of Nigeria.



Bola Ahmed Tinubu has not been president he couldn’t speak to condemn the atrocities by the Fulani herdsmen. That’s an indication that if he becomes president Yoruba people have no reason to believe he will ensure the safety of our people.

 

Therefore, I submit to our Kabiyesi, that it’s not right for him to say that our ancestors should be with a man who cares less about the well-being, safety, protection of Yoruba people. If the enemies of our people have their way, they’re bent on terminating the whole Yoruba people.

 

We know it’s their lifelong ambition to destroy Yoruba people. We know and pray that they will not succeed in the name Jesus. We also know and believe Yoruba Nation is the solution to Nigeria so that we can protect ourselves and develop our land. Those who are killing our people didn’t start today. It’s their mission, it’s also our mission to get YorubaNation👍👍. The enemies of Yoruba people have always failed in their mad rush to destroy Yoruba people and they’ll continue to fail.
