Yoruba Nation Seeks Self Determination; A pressure group from the Yoruba Nation cast aspersion on proposed restructuring of Nigeria. This was contained in a letter written to President Bola Tinubu from Akintoye and Igboho
The Yoruba Self-determination Movement cast aspersions on the renewed hope agenda of Bola Ahmed Tinubu to restructure Nigeria. However, the Afenifere, a highly exalted Yoruba group is at the fore front of restructuring in the country
The Movement, led by Banji Akintoye and Sunday Adeyemo, A.K.A Sunday Igboho, has written an open letter to His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu, seeking a peaceful exit of the yoruba people from the so-called Nigeria
In a letter written by Akintoye and Sunday Igboho to the President and Commander in Chief of the armed forces, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the group expressed dismay over the slow and poor progress as a nation
This strong request to break up from Nigeria is also coming on the heels on the failure of the federal government of Nigeria to provide adequate security to her citizens, the group alleged that fulani and herdsmen have been dismembering and killing Yoruba communities since 2015
However, the uneven trend of kidnapping, terrorism, corruption, and bad leadership is gradually snowballing into wanton destruction of lives and property with an estimated 29,000 Yoruba people killed and property destroyed worth millions of dollars
As a follow up of our earlier letter, dated 6th August 2022, which we delivered to your predecessor, President Muhammadu Buhari, in his exalted position then as President of Nigeria.
It states that since 2015, the widespread suspicious of fulani people killing other Nigerians and the yorubas have been treated with bias and neglect
The sacking of villages/communities by the fulanis, destruction of farmlands, killing , maiming, kidnapping, payment of huge ransom for release from captivity(men, women, and children), land crabbing and intentional claiming of homelands is treated with levity and neglect of other tribes
