I have just finished reading the article by one of the most brilliant minds in Journalism, Festus Adedayo entitled Tinubu, run! Please, run! It is an article that another seminally brilliant mind, Dr. Akin Fapohunda, has characterised as being of Epic genre. I feel compelled to react to this legendary piece for a plethora of reasons, the most important of which is the welfare and the future of our Yorùbá Nation and by far lesser significance, Nigeria.
For about two decades now, the Yorùbá Nation, unbeknown to it, has been plagued by a destructive, powerful, rapacious internal enemy. An internal enemy, more dangerous than a perfidious one, in its political firmament that has had impactful consequences on its contemporary social, moral and economic climate. Through this internal enemy, the Yorùbá Nation had been brought to its knees and its people, sold cheaply, into a macabre slavery with attendant woes and miseries.
