A Professor of History from the University of Ibadan, Olutayo Adesina, has said that pampering of the Fulani did not start with President Muhammadu Buhari, pointing out that it is historical.
According to the university don, who is an elder brother of the President Buhari’s spokesman, Femi Adesina, “the Fulani people have remained the most pampered in the history of Nigeria.”
The professor gave these submissions while featuring on a weekly radio show, Parrot Xtra Hour anchored by Olayinka Agboola and broadcast live on the radio arm of the Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State (BCOS), Oluyole 98.5 FM, Ibadan.

Raufu, who is also a former managing director of the National Mirror, disclosed this during a weekly radio show, Parrot Xtra Hour, in Ibadan, Oyo state capital, on Monday.
He said he would contest the legislative seat for Akinyele/Lagelu federal constituency in the next election.
He said engaging in active politics will be a form of giving back to the society, adding that men of goodwill need to take over the country’s leadership.

“I want to give back to the society, I could have stayed in my comfort zone and do nothing. But with the way Nigeria is going, all men of goodwill need to come out and do something,” said Raufu who is now an assistant professor in the US.
