Adebanjo: Akande trying to sell Yoruba race to Buhari because he wants ​Tinubu to be president

“There is no sensible man who will come out now and say he is proud of Buhari. It shows the type of character he (Akande) is. So, he is too junior for me to be commenting on what he said”.
With the above statement, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, leader of the pan-Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, on Tuesday, reacted to contents of the autobiography of former Governor of Osun State, Chief Bisi Akande.
The book, “My Participations,” with a foreword written by Prof Wole Soyinka, was presented to the public in Lagos last week.
President Muhammadu Buhari and other eminent Nigerians were present at the launch.
During the launch, Akande hit hard at Adebanjo, Chief Olu Falae and the late Sir Olaniwun Ajayi.
But, in an interview on Arise Television, Adebanjo disputed most of Akande’s claims in the book, calling him “a pathological liar”.

“He (Bisi Akande) is too junior to me to be commenting on political matters. He is a political neophyte. He is already known to me as a pathological liar. His colleague, Akinfenwa, in his book said that is who he is. And those of us who know him also know. He is just an apron string of Tinubu.
“He is too junior for me to be commenting on what he said. I signed his papers to be governor. And the condition we gave for him to become governor was that of Sovereign National Conference for the restructuring of the country back to federalism. That was the condition he was elected in 1999 and he reneged on that.
“We call all of them – Bola Tinubu, Segun Osoba – to warn when they reneged. They have sold out the Yoruba race to Muhammadu Buhari all because they want Tinubu to be president. That is not my business.
“But telling lies is the one I don’t know and I don’t know how a man like Akande who claims that we all come from the root of Obafemi Awolowo can be taking pride in his participation in the government of one, Buhari, who they know is a disaster when all those who supported him initially are now regretting that they supported him.
“There is no sensible man who will come out now and say he is proud of Buhari. It shows the type of character he (Akande) is. So, he is too junior for me to be commenting on what he said.”
