The Yoruba Youth Forum has cautioned the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, “not to put the Yoruba nation on fire with his utterances,” especially his alleged derogatory remarks about former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
The youth said they took serious exception to Tinubu’s alleged description of Obasanjo as “an unserious man who should not be taken seriously.”
They expressed sadness that the APC leader, a Yoruba man, would allow himself to be used to attack Obasanjo “who is one of the highly respected Yoruba leaders of this generation.”
The YYF, therefore, called on Tinubu to “repent and tender an unreserved apology to Chief Obasanjo,” saying his statements about Obasanjo were capable of causing “chaos and disrupting the peace that we enjoy in the South-West.”
The YYF said this in a statement on Wednesday signed by its Chairman, Olusegun Bolarinwa.
