Former Governor of Lagos State and national leader of the All
Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, has said he did not attend the Friday
meeting of Yoruba leaders on the proposed national conference because he was
not invited.
A group, Yoruba Committee on National Conference, had met at the
Isara-Remo, Ogun State-home of an elder statesman, Sir Olaniwun Ajayi, to strategise
on the selection of delegates for the South-West geopolitical zone ahead of the
conference.
Some of the prominent Yoruba leaders at the meeting were Governor
Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State; Afenifere leader, Chief Reuben Fasoranti; former
Minister of Finance, Chief Olu Falae; Gen. Alani Akinrinade (retd.); activist
lawyer, Dr. Tunji Braithwaite; Afenifere leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo; Bishop
Bolanle Gbonigi (retd.); Archbishop Ayo Ladigbolu; and the convener, Save
Nigeria Group, Pastor Tunde Bakare.
Speaking on Saturday, Tinubu’s media aide, Mr. Sunday Dare, said there
were attempts by some leaders in the South-West to sideline other Yoruba
leaders, especially those in the APC.
He said, “Have you asked whether they (APC leaders) were intimated about
the meeting? There was no communication whatsoever. There was an attempt by a
group of self-appointed Yoruba leaders to isolate some other persons. And this
has been going on for a long time.
“There was no information out there, whether in the public or privately.
And it is not possible for these leaders — the APC leaders or the Yoruba
leaders in the APC — to go for a meeting they don’t know about; a meeting they
were not invited to. It is not possible.”
