NURTW leader defends Tinubu

By Dayo Johnson, Akure

A leader of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Alhaji Amoda Bello, weekend, kicked against the “campaign of calumny” by some Afenifere leaders against the national leader of the  All Progressives Congress, (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu.

Bello, speaking with newsmen in Akure, said Tinubu is an “undisputed leader of the Yoruba”. According to him, the leader of the APC is a progressive who means well for the Yoruba and would not sell the race.

Bello pointed out that whatever political step taken by the former Lagos State governor “ is in the interest of the Yoruba and will be beneficial to them”.

He urged the Afenifere leaders to accept Tinubu as a Yoruba leader who share the same political ideologies with the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo.
