Social Democratic Party presidential hopeful Adewole Adebayo, during a recent appearance on Channels Television's Inside Sources, asserted that President Bola Tinubu does not embody the characteristics of a true Yoruba individual. According to Adebayo, Tinubu fails to demonstrate the traits typically associated with such individuals, often referred to as "omoluabi".
The presidential contender went on to compare Tinubu unfavorably with notable Yoruba leaders such as the late Obafemi Awolowo, Ladoke Akintola, and others from the Second and Third Republics. Adebayo contended that no traditional ruler, Afenifere member, or clergy member would find it acceptable to label Tinubu as a Yoruba person at a Yoruba gathering.
He further stated that Awolowo had set the benchmark for leadership, and if one examines the quality of leadership in the Second and Third Republics, as well as among current governors, Tinubu does not measure up. Adebayo emphasized that Yorubas are not characterized by tribalism or nepotism, and no Yoruba individual would use a poor representation of a Yoruba person to inspire future generations.
