Chief Bisi Akande, former interim national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former governor of Osun State, made the observation recently in Abeokuta, while speaking at the first inaugural Dauda Adegbenro Foundation Memorial Lecture in honour of the late Chief Dauda Adegbenro, former premier of defunct Western Region.
In his speech, entitled: Adegbenro Fought Against Regimes of Impunity, Akande alleged that Nigeria, with Jonathan as leader, was back under a regime of impunity where the president imposed leaders on states as he wished.
“No government has ever disrespected the Yoruba like the Jonathan administration. But, it is yet morning because a few of us, with our followers, are resolved to continue the struggle for a just and democratic Nigeria, importantly, though, for a Yoruba nation that can stand up against discrimination, nepotism and power tyranny,” Akande said.
He alleged that part of the strategy Jonathan employed and which further reinforced his ingratitude was the use of divisive propaganda to cause disaffection among ethnic nationalities in Nigeria.
The former governor also described the Jonathan administration as that of impunity and tyranny.
He traced the origin of imposition of leaders on states by federal authorities to the crisis that engulfed the Western Region in the 1960s
