Adams is reported to have said a good number of the Yoruba
people are yet to get over their reservations with the Fulani.
Daily Posts reports that Adams told Nigeria Today that he does
not agree with projections made by some pundits that Buhari will
make a clean sweep of South-west by virtue of the dominance of
his party in the geo-political zone, saying, “ South-west is a place
that you cannot use the media to deceive. We are highly exposed
and highly educated.”
“For you to say we should go one way, it is impossible. I don’t think
that the South-west will vote for Buhari en mass. Don’t forget the
pain caused by the June 12 annulment, it is still fresh in the mind of
our people many died in the cause of June 12 struggle, many lost a
lot of properties. I don’t think our people will trust a Hausa/Fulani
man from the north this time around.” the OPC leader is quoted as
saying by Daily Trust

Although Adams was quick to point out that Jonathan alone
should not be blamed for the nation’s failing. He insisted that
governors and lawmakers should equally share in the blame.
It will be recalled that national president, Goodluck-for-
Transformation and state Women Coordinator, Goodluck
Campaign Organisation, Edo state, Chief (Mrs) Evelyn Igbafe and
over 5000 others dumped the PDP for the APC.
