Why Agitation For Yoruba Nation Won’t Succeed – Akeredolu

Mr Rotimi Akeredolu, Governor of Ondo State, has condemned the continuous agitation for a Yoruba nation by some groups in the South-West, saying such agitation would undermine the efforts of those who had laid their lives for Nigeria’s unity.

The chairman of the Southern Governors Forum, Akeredolu, vowed that no state in the South-West region would tolerate any agitation that would undermine the sacrifices of the nation’s heroes.

This declaration was made during the inauguration of the emblem appeal to kick off the 2023 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebrations at the Ondo State Internal Revenue Service Hall in Akure, the state capital.

Akeredolu said: “Those clamouring for Oodua Nation will not succeed. People have not laid down their lives for this country for unscrupulous individuals to scuttle it. This country is very important to some of us.

“We recognise the right of the people to protest or agitate. But if the police feel your actions are treasonable, they will arrest and prosecute you. It is not at this stage in the history of this country that we will repeat IPOB in Yoruba land. Opportunity beacons at us. We cannot afford to throw away that opportunity.

“We must work to ensure that there is power shift. The opportunity for presidency to come to the south, especially the Southwest, is around the corner. We will not sit down and support anyone clamouring for Oodua nation. We will not support it. We have fought for this with everything we had. Nigeria will be good.

“The security agencies will checkmate these unscrupulous enemies embarking on such frivolous activities. We have responsibilities now to soberly reflect on the plight of those who have laid down their lives and those who are still laying down their lives for the unity and peace of this country.”

According to the governor, the current daring posture of the country’s enemies, which has cost the nation many of its gallant soldiers’ lives, is highly condemnable. He emphasized that the officers and men of the military had greatly reduced the threat posed by unscrupulous elements.
