WHY YORUBAS MUST REJECT BUHARI. Olabisi Onabanjo Minister Domkat Bali also recalled getting into a verbal altercation with Buhari during an SMC meeting. Bali felt that the 22-year jail sentence handed down to UPN Governor Bisi Onabanjo was unduly harsh given that he was convicted not of enriching himself, but of paying kickbacks from contracts into his party’s bank account. Bali felt that 22 years was too harsh for such an offence and would complicate matters when more serious cases of corruption emerged. Idiagbon disagreed and replied that some SMC members were being unduly sympathetic to the politicians. No Fulani Gov was jailed or given similar treatment. Chief Adekunle Ajasin. He was arraigned and tried before Buhari’s punitive tribunal but acquitted. Dissatisfied, Buhari ordered his re-trial. Again, the Tribunal could not find this man guilty of a single crime, so once again he was returned for trial, only to be acquitted of all charges of corruption or abuse of office. Was Chief Ajasin thereby released? No! He was ordered detained indefinitely, simply for the crime of winning an election and refusing to knuckle under Shagari’s reign of terror.
