Since Nigeria President Mohammadu Buhari declared war on corruption.
Mr.President need to be mindful of his political party members some of
who see the ascendancy into federal government as an opportunity to
acquire wealth and forget that war on corruption is a declaration of
war on political leadership elite of both sides of the ideological
devide.Former Secretary General Yoruba Council of Elders and Secretary
South West Delegate to the 2014 National Conference Dr.Kunle Olajide
made the comments in his chairman speech at the Annual Lt.Col.Adekunle
Fajuyi Memorial Lecture organised by the League of Veteran Journalists
Oyo State at Ibadan.He clearly stated that Yorubas have suffered
progressive marginalization in the last decade. "Yorubas have become
disenchanted with the way the country is structured and governed,it
appears there is a conspiracy or deliberate policy to marginalize
us",he added. While suggesting ways to win war on corruption
Dr.Olajide emphasised on restructuring of our country into more viable regional or zonal units.Devolution of powers from the centre to the states and local
government.Corresponding review of federal allocation fomula to
redistribute the nation's resources in conformity with the new power
and configuration of government and to demonitize politics by making
it less attractive to poliical officers.
He ugre Mr.President to avoid the politicization of critical issues of
national interest such as the 2014 National Conference Reports on;True
Federal System of government and the Judicial Reforms which the
conference has crtically analyzed with solutions. Dr.Olajide finally
urge patriotic Nigerians to support Mr.President. Earlier Alh.Kola

President Buhari administration to succeed and appealed to the
National Assembly Members to sow the seed of unity that will move the
