Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Otunba Gani Adams has announced that the people of the South-Western region of Nigeria will rally round the presidential candidate “who is truly committed to the peaceful coexistence of Nigerians in all facets of national life”.
He made this known on Saturday at his Lagos residence when former Ogun State Governor and Deputy Director General/Chairman, (South) of the PDP presidential campaign Council, Otunba Gbenga Daniel paid him a courtesy call.
Daniel visited Adams alongside a team of stakeholders in the Southwest geopolitical zone.
Adams emphasized that restructuring is very key in Nigeria’s march towards nationhood, and Yorubas will consider a candidate who preaches this as one of his core agenda in the 2019 election.
He said, “The coming election will be based on ideologies rather than partisanship or sentiments as it was in the past.”
In his response, Daniel thanked the Aare Ona Kakanfo for his support and encouragement. He added that a situation where the Yoruba people appear not to be getting it right in the governance of the country especially at the centre was one of the reasons he got involved in national politics which took him round the country on about three occasions.
He went on to describe PDP Presidential candidate Atiku Abubabar as “a thorough and visionary politician who is so passionate about the Nigerian project, a lover of the Yoruba people, a honest and true Nigerian who will not say what he could not do”.
