As Nigeria prepares for the general elections slated for
March 28 and April 11, Yoruba leaders are now divided over who to support for the
presidential race.
The leaders held parallel
meetings in Ibadan and Lagos on Thursday March 19 to make their stands known on
the forth coming elections.
The group in Lagos, who were in
support of President Goodluck Jonathan, expressed the need for continuity while
those in Ibadan, who felt the Yorubas were being marginalized by the present administration and called for change through General Muhammad Buhari.

Governors Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo) and Rauf Aregbesola (Osun), Chief Rita
Lori-Ogbebor and Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola.
