He said, “Yorubas rejected OBJ”, adding “till date OBJ has not been able to exert his influence in the SW”.
Akinwale continued, “OBJ is never considered a ‘proper yoruba’ and an enemy of the Great Awo”.
He said: “One of the reasons why OBJ has a clear beef with Bola Ahmed Tinubu has to be the 2003 elections.
“Before that, in 1999, Chief Olu Falae roundly defeated OBJ with over 3m votes in the South West, a clear indication that we the Yorubas rejected OBJ.
“The Yorubas voted for Tinubu in 2023 and over the years, he has a grip of the region. Till date OBJ has not been able to exert his influence in the SW.
“In the books of Awolowo’s disciples, OBJ is never considered a ‘proper Yoruba’
“And that’s because he has always shown zero solidarity for the ethnic group and an enemy of the Great Awo.
“They may be right tho’”
