IBADAN — ALAAFIN of Oyo,
Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, has said
the marginalisation of the
Yorubas being alleged by some
elders in the zone was caused
by the former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. It will be recalled that recently,
the Yoruba Unity Forum alleged
that President Goodluck
Jonathan marginalised the zone
in the distribution of political
offices. Oba Adeyemi, who received
former Senate Leader, Senator
Teslim Folarin, who was on a
sympathy visit to his palace
over the fire incident in some
parts of the palace, said the eight year rule of Obasanjo was
not beneficial in any way to
Yoruba people. *Olusegun Obasanjo *Olusegun Obasanjo According to him, Obasanjoâ
€™s eight year rule never
ensured a succession policy for
the Yorubas, instead, the former
president paid mere lip
service to issues that could assist the cause of the Yorubas. He called on Yoruba politicians
to guard jealously the cultural
heritage of Yoruba nation,
warning that Yoruba language
and culture ceeded in many areas. Earlier, Folarin sympathised
with the Alaafin on the fire
incident, thanking God that
there was no casualty. He apologised for his late visit
to the monarch, saying it was due to
ill-health.

I am on the side of Iku Baba Yeye on this. OBJ during his presidency did nothing for the SW, rather he enthroned crooks, pilferers, the most defective and least-able men as governors and law makers with his garrison-styled politics. The elders complaining of SW being excised from GEJ's government are those who have lost out at home, and are trying to whip up sentiments in order to win concessions at the center!

Shut your dirty mouth up. The originator of the post gave out this so that a reasonable and logical contribution can be made. If you have hatred for the tribe please keep it to yourself and stop exposing your infantile in your way of contributing to developmental debate ok.
I've said it that OBJ is an error that Yoruba won’t recover from for his wasted years in govt. The marginalization that we talk about now, did it start today? Obj single handedly brought shame to Yoruba race and the country as a whole is suffering for what someone in another segment of the country single handedly did. We should be ashamed of a son that went out there to disgrace his father in the public, let be bold to say the truth and the way it is.

Story.

All big traditional leaders in yorubaland failed alongside OBJ.

yeye alafin when obj was in power he did not say anything because of what he was getting from baba . Now he is opening his yeye mouth 2 accuse obj.
Yorubas are the one who maginalised themselve by selling the speaker position offered generously to them by pdp to an aboki tambuwal

That serves you guys right. You are now feeding on the crumbs that fall from the table other tribes use for feasting. Hahahahahaha X infinity

Nonsense!!! Yorubas have been marginalized way back from the 'Kiriji war' it was Chief Ladoke Akintola (from Ogbomosho) that brought about the political divide mess Yorubas found themselves in as a result of his anti-party and pro-Tafawa Balewa (Aboki) political engineering into the mainstream! Obasanjo is very very innocent concerning that, Iku Baba Yeye is wrong here
