An Action Against Tinubu Is An Action Against The Yoruba Race- Fayose

Ekiti state Governor, Ayodele Fayose yesterday repeated his statement about a former Lagos State Governor and National leader of APC, Ahmed Bola Tinubu saying an action against Tinubu, is an action against the Yoruba race, though some Yorubas have frowned against it. He also called that Falae and others need to be protected as well.

The governor made the statement in Ado Ekiti yesterday while receiving the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, at the palace of the Ewi of Ado Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejugbe.

Tinubu is believed to have fallen out of favour with President Muhammad Buhari while Falae is under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for allegedly receiving part of the missing security funds from a former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.). The governor said;




“You (Ooni) are in a good position to unite us. We want to appeal to you to remember that we all belong to you, irrespective of political parties.

“That was why I said without apologies that an action against Ahmed Tinubu is an action against the Yoruba nation.

“We must defend the Yoruba nation. They are encroaching. They are harassing; they are depriving us of our legitimate rights. Those who toiled day and night are now victims of circumstances.

“Nothing must happen to Tinubu, Falae and others. This is the way they started with (Obafemi) Awolowo and (Pa Michael) Ajasin,” he cautioned.
