Chairman of the Yoruba Ronu Group, Prince Diran Iyantan, has given reasons why the group chose to support the National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s presidential ambition instead of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
Iyantan disclosed this in a statement issued in Akure, stating that Osibajo’s declaration to run as president does not favour his ambition currently unlike his political mentor, Tinubu.
He said, ”Everyone should be circumspect of the wish of the soothsayers and prophets of doom’s prediction that the event of sixty years ago, which monikered us as the “Wild Wild West” will not repeat itself.
Vice President Yemi Osibanjo is very competent and experienced to lead Nigeria, but the present issue surrounding the Vice President Yemi Osibajo’s declaration to run as president does not just favour his ambition right now, unlike his political mentor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu whose ambition to govern Nigeria had been well known for a longtime, and the reason we, at the Yoruba Ronu Group, throws our support to him, immediately, he declared to run as Nigeria’s next President.”
