We Can't Forgive Buhari's Sins- Afenifere Leader

Karma has a way of always coming back. No matter where you find your find yourself or position always remember to be nice. people don't forget things either  good or bad.. 

A leader of Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, has said he can never forgive Gen. Buhari because of the sins hecommitted against Yoruba leaders decades ago while he was Head of State between December 1983 and August 1985.

Adebanjo, 87, who was a close associate of the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, while speaking at a post-National Conference in Lagos titled, ‘Into Tomorrow and Beyond’ on Thursday said Buhari locked up all the Yoruba governors after overthrowing the Shehu Shagari government Punch reports.

“Back then, Awolowo warned Shagari that his government would soon hit the rock if he did not put things in order. Shortly after, in December 1983, Buhari overthrew the government but the man that was speaking against Shagari (Awolowo), was harassed by Buhari. Buhari picked up all the Yoruba governors: Adekunle Ajasin (Ondo State); Olabisi Onabanjo (Ogun) and others, who were true progressives and locked them up. Somebody said I am a Christian and I should forgive Buhari but I said I cannot forgive such. Ajasin’s children say they have forgiven Buhari but I am not in their party, I can’t forgive him...

He said the North was against the implementation of the resolutions of the confab because the region was enjoying the system which is unfavourable to southern Nigeria, and urged Yorubas to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan as he had promised to implement the report of the confab.

He also dismissed claims that he and other Afenifere leaders had been bribed by Jonathan.

“I am saying vote Jonathan not because he is Ijaw or from the South-South. No northerner will convoke a national conference because everything we are talking of that has been unfavourable to the South; they (North) are the beneficiaries.”
