Chairman of Yoruba Ronu Group, Diran Iyantan, gave the advice in an interview with journalists on Thursday in Akure, Ondo State.
Iyantan alleged that Obi’s supporters were “fiercely forcing their candidate on the people of the South-West.”
He, therefore, urged the former Anambra State governor to speak to his supporters “who have turned the South-West states into an enclave of fierce opposition to the candidacy of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).”
“As a socio-political group fighting the cause of the Yoruba people worldwide, we can no longer condone the unwholesome attack on Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu by Obi’s supporters in Lagos, other major cities in South-West and online,” Iyantan said.
“The way they’re going about this election is like Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is the only candidate they’re contesting against and will do anything to demean his integrity in this election.
“Obi’s supporters do not have any need to abuse anyone, spread hate speeches or even incite people against others.
“Obi’s supporters continue to demean the achievements of Tinubu in Lagos as if it’s not the same success stories of Tinubu as the former Governor of Lagos State that secured Lagos and helped propel their businesses that made them see Lagos as their homes.”
