Lagos
State Governor, Babatunde Fashola has accused some Yoruba leaders of
betraying the Yoruba people by collecting blood money from President
Goodluck Jonathan.
President Jonathan is alleged to
have given many traditional rulers in Yoruba land millions of naira to
champion his campaign, while the Afenifere elders are also accused of
collecting dollars to support Jonathan’s ambition.
The
governor, who spoke at the All Progressives Congress, APC, rally in
Shomolu, Lagos, southwest Nigeria, on Tuesday said the Yoruba needed to
rethink, saying that posterity would judge those who collected the money
to betray the Yoruba people.
“The Yoruba need to have a
rethink. Some Yoruba leaders have betrayed us the yoruba because of
money. This election is for freedom.
“And this was how
it happened in the past which prompted the late Hubert Ogunde to sing
one of his songs titled ‘Yoruba rethink,’. The money is blood money. And
posterity will judge them for that action,” he said.
