There is nothing like Yoruba leadership in the South-west region- OBJ

Nigeria’s former president, Olusegun Obasanjo has said that the South-west region does not have a single individual who can be regarded as their leader.

In his book, titled, “My Watch: Political and Public Affairs,” where he wrote about, in his own words, “Nigerianness and Yorubanness.”

In chapter 31 of the book titled, “Campaigns and Elections,” Obasanjo opined that Nigeria did not need tribal barons as leaders, adding that there was nothing like Yoruba leadership in the South-west region.

Obasanjo wrote, “Just as there was no single oba having sovereignty over the whole of Yorubaland, there was no individual as leader of the Yorubas in Yorubaland. As it was then, it remains till now.”
