Buhari will never get all Yoruba votes, because we don't trust fulani,  Adams

Ganiyu Adams, factional leader of the Yoruba self-determination group, Oodua People's Congress (OPC), says Muhammadu Buhari should not expect to win the south-west en masse in the February 14 presidential election.

With Buhari, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) expected to win most votes in the north-east and north-west and President Goodluck Jonathan projected to enjoy  support in the south-south, south-east and north-central, most analysts have predicted that south-west votes will decide the winner.

But Adams does not agree with the projections that Buhari will make a clean-up in the south-west based on the dominance of APC in the geo-political zone.

“Don't think that south-west is APC states. South-west is a place that you cannot use the media to deceive. We are highly exposed and highly educated,” he told Nigeria Today newspaper in its latest edition due for the market on Monday, January 26.

“For you to say we should go one way, it is impossible. I don't think that the south-west will vote for Buhari en mass.  Don't forget the pain caused by the June 12 annulment, it is still fresh in the mind of our people many died in the cause of June 12 struggle, many lost a lot of properties. I don't think our people will trust a Hausa/Fulani man from the north this time around.”

Frederick Faseun, leader of another faction of OPC and founder of the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN), has already thrown his weight behind Jonathan, with UPN adopting the president as its candidate.

Adams, meanwhile, refused to blame Jonathan for Nigeria's woes, maintaining that governors and lawmakers also have their blames.
