Indeed, there is a Lacuna-Tinubu (APC) was not invited for Yoruba Elders meeting

A former Governor of Lagos State and national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, has disclosed that he was not invited for the Friday meeting of Yoruba leaders organized to discuss the proposed National Conference.

A group, Yoruba Committee on National Conference, had met at the Isara-Remo, Ogun State-home of an elder statesman, Sir Olaniwun Ajayi, to put heads together ahead of the proposed national dialogue.

Some of the prominent Yoruba leaders at the meeting were Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State; Afenifere leader, Chief Reuben Fasoranti; former Minister of Finance, Chief Olu Falae; Gen. Alani Akinrinade (retd.); activist lawyer, Dr. Tunji Braithwaite; Afenifere leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo; Bishop Bolanle Gbonigi (retd.); Archbishop Ayo Ladigbolu; and the convener, Save Nigeria Group, Pastor Tunde Bakare.

Reacting to the development, Tinubu’s media aide, Sunday Dare, said there were attempts by some leaders in the South-West to push aside other Yoruba leaders, particularly those in the APC.

He said such a meeting without Tinubu and the APC governors from Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Osun, Ekiti and “probably” Edo states was incomplete.

“Asiwaju and the governors of the APC states (in the South-West) were not there. If you’re doing something in the South-West and you cannot find the APC leaders who have about 90 per cent control of the leadership of the zone, then what are you talking about? It means that there is a lacuna.”http://dailypost.com.ng/2014/02/09/yoruba-leaders-shunned-national-conference-meeting-tinubu/
