Two people are dragging razor blade.
It is the one who have his hand cut that will
release the razor blade.
The rivalry between Afenifere and Tinubu started
officially in 2002 shortly after Ige was killed. At a meeting(Prior to this period) in Ilejemeje Ekiti
(Ayo Fasnmi's home), Tinubu had sent his Deputy
Bucknor Akerele to represent him.
Bucknor was seen lamenting publicly in the
meeting saying "Mi o ki nse egbe Tinubu(I'm not
Tinubu's mate), he has no respect, he can't be giving me orders, imagine that little boy".....LOL.
Ayo Fasanmi was raged....he almost used his hands
to cover the mouth of Bucknor. He told her "you
are wrong. He is your boss, just like Awo was
Ajasin's boss.
This is not about age, this is leadership. He is your leader.
If you have issues that cannot be reconciled...just
resign.
If you continue like this, you will become history
like SLA..." Hmmmmm.
Many Afenifere leaders supported Bucknor because, they also said Tinubu was 'trying to tell us
what to do'. They eventually pushed Bucknor
to her political grave, though alive but unheard of
till date.
Afenifere started taking odd
decisions no matter how ridiculous just to ensure that they did not go to Tinubu direction.
It got to a stage that even if Tinubu describe them
as wise elders, they will still disagree and say they
are foolish toddlers!!! Lol.
Eventually, their stooge AD Chairman Akinfenwa
took AD far beyond the reach of Tinubu and sold it in cash to the PDP.....Tinubu was run out of the
party.
He formed AC. And AD suffered stroke, went into
coma and died in the hands of Afenifere and
Akinfenwa.
Since then if Tinubu goes right, Afenifere will go left and because Tinubu is always taking good
decision, Afenifere is always taking the opposite.
Afenifere agenda eventually changed from
protecting the Yoruba interest to bringing down
that little boy Tinubu.
It became an antagonist group whose sole aim is to take unexplainable vengeance!!!
In 2007, Afenifere had become an instrument of
retrogression in the hand of PDP working against
Fashola, Dipo Dina, they had earlier in 2003, joined
PDP to remove Bisi Akande as Osun Governor.
Till date, if you want to know what Afenifere will do, find out what Tinubu is doing
now, then the opposite is theirs. They are the
backers of Mimiko, Kashamu, Fayose, Omisore,
Agbaje and other notable die hard haters of
Tinubu.
What got GEJ attracted to Afenifere? Is it because he developed SW? No. GEJ did
nothing...as in NOTHING in the SW? If you see one
show me. Is it because GEJ love the SW? NO.
He hates SW with passion, OBJ brought him to
power, he jilted him, he marginalised the SW
glaringly and empower the 'abiipabes' in the land. So what was the attraction? Their only
hope of bringing down Tinubu politically and may
be, physically too, was in GEJ.
If GEJ can destroy Tinubu, Yoruba need not more
than that!!! And they started following GEJ
around....the respect they never gave Ige, OBJ or Tinubu was rolled in one and handed over to the
world renowned clueless omugo that ever come
to power in the world. ...GEJ!!! Shame on you
Afenifere.
Let us assume in 2015, Tinubu supported GEJ and
Afenifere supported Buhari. And now Buhari had given Yoruba sons/daughters, Awolowo in law VP,
and many other huge position of responsibilities.
Tinubu would have been persuaded to accept the
winner!!! Only a foolish
man will get to the end of a road and still knock his
head on the wall!!! The reversal is the case today, and Envy has lost completely.
Afenifere have lost every single goodwill it brought
to politics in 1999!!! Envy and overbearing have
brought their pride to shambles.
They exist no more apart from in the book of
history!!! Tinubu has proved to the Yoruba people that his struggle since 2003 is not for himself but
for them... he has given them many soldiers, he has
told the world that for every Fayose or Omisore or
Koro, there are great ones like Fashola, Fayemi,
Aregbesola, Osinbajo.....For every talkative like FFK,
there is always an eloquent Gbajabiamila, intelligent Lai Mohammed.
For every Obada, Jumoke etc, there is an Adeosun,
a Dabiri...... Yorubas are not a thug generation.
We are Omoluabis.....We are Afenifere!!!!!
Afenifere must do a press conference admitting
their errors and commending the hero BOLA AHMED TINUBU for taking Yoruba to the center even as
Opposition Leader without being a PDP man for one
day.....without compromising the
stand and ideals of opposition politics as taught us
by Obafemi Awolowo.......
The fight should be over now, the loser is known and we know the winner. ... Afenifere lost.....Tinubu
wins. That is Eledua for you... He gives victory to
those who deserve it.
Longlive Jagaban... Longlive our Pride.....May you
live long and in good health, more wisdom,
prosperity, more victories, more joy and happiness.

Credit-one ayekooto

That mistake is believing that those afenifere folks have anything to offer and that they were anything other than power hungry , morally bankrupt and corrupt old men.
Do you see anyone of these old men coming up with the eko atlantic idea?
I want to believe that the parents of most nairalander , the age of these old men, have retired peacefully into old age and have left the scene for their children to take over.
If at their age, they have no fruit to harvest because of hey have not planted any seeds, you should not expect anything better.
Many omoluabis have been lucky to catch a glimpse of the world beyond our narrow borders Even our best are not good enough.
These old men so dated and they not only do not belong to the present, I also doubt their offerings are good enough for the yoruba nation of the 16th century.

Just read what General Alani Akinrinade has to say about them

former Chief Of Army Staff Under Gen. Ibrahim Babaginda, General Alani Akinrinade (retd) has condemned the endorsement of President Goodluck Jonathan by the pan social-cultural Yoruba group, Afenifere, describing it as disgraceful, self-serving and an embarrassment to every Yoruba living or dead.
The Former Minister of Transport is quoted by PM News saying; “if this old men that are shouting marginalization a few months ago, can sit today to endorse the same man that is marginalizing them, then their brains need medical examination.”

Alani Akinrinade is a GREAT YORUBA SOLDIER AND A MAN OF VALOR

Afenifere are a group of old corrupt, shameless men and women.

You're naive politically, most especialy in yoruba politics. They're both fighting for the cause of Yoruba nation. What they did is not to put all they have in one basket.
You're a Tinubu protigee
