But according to the group, the claim that Yoruba leaders worked against his election was “crude, false and malicious.”

“This is quite sad, unacceptable, benighted, illogic, suffused in inherent hate.
“Let it be clear to Wike and his ilk that the Yoruba Youth Forum will henceforth not tolerate any attempt by anyone to denigrate our leaders. Our leaders are sacred and sacrosanct builders and enlightened shepherds of our community. We will never insult leaders of other regions,” the statement added.
