We know your antecedents as a progressive. You laid the foundation of today\u2019s Lagos. You are the leading light of Nigeria. You contributed to making Nigeria what it is today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWithout Yoruba, Nigeria will not be what it is today. Nigeria is badly divided. We are looking forward to a Yoruba president who will unite this country. We need a leader that will have a national focus and national acceptability.
