During the general election of 1979 the south west Yoruba played opposition politics but lost elections..and no political leadership position went to the south west..the president shagari govt of 1979-1983 gave Anambra state alone vice president Ekwueme and the speaker of the house of representatives Ezeego.. while the south west Yoruba had no political leadership position at all..
This is a typical example of democracy in action.
