A former governor of Osun state, Olagunsoye Oyinlola has revealed that former president, Olusegun Obasanjo warned Yoruba leaders against supporting the candidacy of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He stated that Buhari disappointed them and did not carry out all the promises he made. He disclosed this while speaking to BBC Yoruba recently.
He expressed disappointment that the president did not fulfil his promise on restructuring Nigeria. In his words;
“I am saddened that Buhari did not know what restructuring is now. I know the roles I played for Buhari to become the President of Nigeria but sadly, none of the promises he made had been fulfilled, especially on the security issues.”
“It was like Boko Haram would be forgotten within six months of Buhari’s arrival. Olusegun Obasanjo warned us that Buhari cannot carry the burden of Nigeria but we did not listen to him.”
Oyinlola added that Buhari promise to restructure the country was a major selling point for him amongst the Yorubas.
