I am not a Yoruba but an Anago. I am a proud son of Oduduwa. I appreciate General T.Y. Danjuma's contribution but he is wrong about one thing: not all the Anagos and sons and daughters of Oduduwa have "lost their voices".
When he joined forces with others to bring the plague called Buhari to power we warned them that it was a grievous error and that they should back Jonathan instead. They refused to listen and instead stood with Buhari. Ever since Buhari came to power with their support in 2015 some of us from the south west have been fighting him and speaking out against him openly and fearlessly.
I have done so at great cost to myself and so have Baba Ayo Adebanjo, Ayo Fayose, Gani Adams, Gboyega Adejumo, Deji Adeyanju, Yinka Odumakin, Dino Melaye, Baba Fasoranti, Akin Osuntokun, Bishop David Oyedepo, Segun Mimiko, Seyi Makinde, Babatunde Gbadamosi, Afenifere, Yoruba Summit Group, OPC and lately Omoyele Sowore, Femi Falana and so many others.
I agree that there are some traitors like Bola Tinubu, Yemi Osinbajo and others in our midst but they are a decreasing minority who are bound up and lost in their own slavish servitude, inexplicable greed, grave delusions and morbid fears.
To them Buhari is a God but to us he is nothing but a tin pot dictator with feet of clay. To them the Fulani are to be worshipped and were born to rule but to us they are no better than any other ethnic nationality in Nigeria and we did not come into the world to be their slaves.
For the last 5 years many of us have been as constant as the northern star, have refused to collaborate and have never lost our voices.
As a matter of fact instead of losing our voices we actually found them and rose to the challenge despite the grave risks and challenges we are facing.
Despite those risks and challenges we remain committed to standing against the evil called Buhari even at great risk to ourselves and our families and many of us have been persecuted ruthlessly for doing so.
Unlike others some of us did not have a hand in bringing the monster called Buhari to power and we did not support him in 2015 or 2019. As a matter of fact the Anagos and sons and daughters of Oduduwa gave Jonathan and Atiku more votes in 2015 and 2019 respectively than Danjuma's Middle Belt, the South South or the South East. Go and check out the figures.
Again more leaders in the South West, South East and South South have spoken and fought against Buhari than any Middle Belter or northerner since 2015. Gallant and strong men and women like Nnamdi Kanu, Tony Nnandi, Asari Dokubo, Shola Salako, Deji Osibogun, George Akinola and others stand out.
Apart from that there are millions in the South West who have spoken out and suffered for this noble cause of opposing tyranny and I, as an Anago and a son of Oduduwa, am very proud of that.
I say again, we never lost our voices but rather we found them and we will continue to fight and speak against Buhari until we die.
