Tinubu 2023: Yoruba Group Makes Strong Allegations Against Northern Political Class
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a southwest socio-political group, Yoruba council worldwide, has said that the northern political class wants to scheme Bola Tinubu out of the 2023 race.
The group alleged that some northern political classes are making the plan after their failed attempt to install Ahmed Lawan as APC flagbearer in the 2023 presidential elections.
The council said it would not tolerate the kind of political treatment meted on Obafemi Awolowo and MKO Abiola on Tinubu.
