It Is The Fulanis, The Military And Fulani Elites Allowed Tinubu To Become President–Amos Akingba
In a recent statement that has sparked controversy, Dr. Amos Akingba, a prominent figure in the Yoruba socio-cultural organization Afenifere, has made bold claims about the political landscape in Nigeria. As reported by the Punch, Dr. Akingba suggested that President Bola Tinubu’s ascension to power was not a result of Southern political influence, but rather a calculated move by certain Northern factions.
Dr. Akingba asserted, “It’s the Fulanis, the military and Fulani elites allowed him (Tinubu) to become president. Nigerians know who they are.” This statement implies a significant level of control exercised by these groups over Nigeria’s political affairs.
Challenging the notion of Southern political dominance, Dr. Akingba rhetorically asked, “Do you think Southerners are in charge of Nigeria by accident? It’s a joke.” He further highlighted the ongoing tensions in the country, particularly referencing the situation in the South-East: “Look at how they are treating the Biafran people; they don’t even know what they want. If they want to leave, who will stop them? If they want to stay, is this how to stay and succeed?”
Dr. Akingba’s comments extended beyond domestic issues to Nigeria’s international standing. He stated, “We are all jokers. Nigerians no longer command respect globally because we are not respectable.” This remark suggests a critical view of Nigeria’s ability to effectively manage its internal conflicts and project a positive image on the world stage.
These provocative statements from a respected Afenifere chieftain have reignited discussions about power dynamics, regional tensions, and governance issues in Nigeria. They underscore the complex nature of Nigerian politics and the ongoing challenges the country faces in achieving national unity and international respect…… CONTINUE READING
