Nobody, Not Even Me, Can Claim Yoruba Leader — Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said no individual can be regarded as the leader of the Yoruba. He stated this in his book, titled, “My Watch: Political and Public Affairs,” where he addressed what he called his Nigerianness and Yorubanness.

In chapter 31, titled: Campaigns and Elections, Obasanjo said Nigeria did not need tribal barons as leaders, stressing that there was nothing like Yoruba leadership in Yoruba land.
