The leadership of the umbrella body for all young people of Remo Land, Remo Youth Association, has frowned against the derogatory remark of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dr. Adedapo Abiodun, during his visitation to the Governor and party stakeholders.
The Chairman of the group, Com. Yaya Onagbesan, while reacting to opinions from pressmen condemned the manner and politics of bitterness exhibited by the former Governor of Lagos State.
According to Onagbesan, “Remo Youth Association stands for no political party, nevertheless we won’t fold our arms to see anyone rubbish any of our Leaders from Remoland. It is important I let you know that the Youths of Remoland are resolute to protect and support any of our Sons or Daughters occupying or aspiring for any leadership position across Nigeria and in diaspora.
“Therefore, it totally uncalled for a presumed elder stateman like Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to have referred to our kinsman and the incumbent Governor of our State as “Eléyìí”, which literally demeans the personality of a refined gentleman our Governor is known for” Onagbesan said.
The Chairman further used the medium to send a note of warning to anyone out there who intends to rubbish any Leader from Remoland. “Such distasteful action will no longer be acceptable or condoned regardless of the status of the source. Needless to say that it is God that gives power and no mortal should ever assume the position of God.
“May be I need to remind them that from inception, Ogun State, having produced great people like Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Pa Abraham Adesanya, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Chief MKO Abiola among others, is known as the land of intellectuals who has also raised several national and globally acclaimed Leaders.
“We urge the Youths and Elders of Remoland to continue display the high sense of moral and leadership that Remo people are notable for,” Onagbesan pleaded.
