Yorubas will not vote for Buhari, we don’t trust Fulanis – Gani Adams
People's Congress (OPC), Ganiyu Adams, has
informed the presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (rtd.) not to expect getting a bloc vote from
the South-west in the February 14 presidential
election. He said a good number of his people are
yet to get over their reservations with the Fulani.
Adams told Nigeria Today that he does not agree
with projections made by some pundits that Buhari
will make a clean sweep of South-west by virtue of
the dominance of his party in the geo-political zone,
saying, "South-west is a place that you cannot use
the media to deceive. We are highly exposed and
highly educated."
His words, "For you to say we should go one way, it
is impossible. I don't think that the South-west will
vote for Buhari en mass. Don't forget the pain
caused by the June 12 annulment, it is still fresh in
the mind of our people many died in the cause of
June 12 struggle, many lost a lot of properties. I
don't think our people will trust a Hausa/Fulani man
from the north this time around."
Adams' stance aligns with that of the leader of
another faction of OPC and founder of the Unity
Party of Nigeria (UPN), Frederick Faseun, who has
already thrown his weight behind Jonathan, with
his party adopting the President as its candidate.

Meanwhile, Adams was quick to point out that
Jonathan alone should not be blamed for the
nation's failing. He insisted that governors and
lawmakers should equally share in the blame.
