Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has maintained that the decision reached by Bola Tinubu, National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and his group that recently met in Lagos do not reflect the general interest of the region as they do not speak for most Yoruba people.
The former minister stated this while condemning the meeting of APC leaders in South West on Sunday.
Bola Tinubu, Bisi Akande, Olusegun Osoba and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, were among those who called for restructuring of the country and the creation of state police.
However, Fani-Kayode said the meeting was not in the interest of the Southwest but to push for APC’s agenda.
In a series of tweets, the former minister insisted that the likes of Tinubu would be “thrown into dustbin of history.”

He wrote: “One of the lessons that Bola Tinubu and those with him will soon learn is that it is a very dangerous thing and an exercise in futility to move against a moving train. Those that met in Lagos yesterday only represented their own narrow mindset and band of thinking and their political party.
“He only leads part of the APC in parts of the SW and those that are with him are mainly members of the fading ruling elite.
“If there is a referendum on self-determination in the SW tomorrow these characters would be flushed down the toilet & thrown into the dustbin of history.
“Outside of that it is only a question of time before they break away and determine their own future. Tinubu does not control the streets of the SW: the Yoruba nationalists and separatists do.
“Those that met in Lagos only represent a tiny group of those in the Southwest. They cow tow to, beg and lobby the separatists behind closed doors and they condemn and disown them before the world. Such intellectual dishonesty, doublespeak and cowardice is reprehensible.”
