The
Ondo governor, who is the Chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum,
had urged security agencies to clampdown on the agitators, stating that
the South-West does not need a group like the Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB).
 The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere has lashed
out at Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State for ordering security
operatives to clamp down on Yoruba Nation agitators.
Akeredolu had said he will not tolerate any person or group whose activities are capable of disintegrating the Nigerian State.
Recall that Akeredolu, who was speaking at the launch of the emblem
appeal to flag off the 2023 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebrations
held in Akure, the state capital, on Friday, declared that those
agitating for the Yoruba Nation were enemies of the country.
The Ondo governor, who is the Chairman of the Southern Governors’
Forum, had urged security agencies to clampdown on the agitators,
stating that the South-West does not need a group like the Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB).
Reacting to Akeredolu’s comment in a statement issued by the
Secretary General of the Afenifere, Sola Ebiseni, the group accused the
governor of playing to the gallery as the Chief Security Officer of the
state.
According to Afenifere, a Nigerian President of South East extraction is the solution to separatist agitations in the country.
The statement read, “The statement credited to Governor
Akeredolu of Ondo State at the launching of an emblem appeal to flag off
the 2023 Armed Forces Remembrance Day, unfortunately, confirmed the
scarcity of statesmanship in our clime particularly faced with the lust
for political power.
“We have no problem with the governor playing to the gallery,
as a glorified Chief Security Officer, urging that security forces clamp
down on any person or group whose activities he interpreted as capable
of disintegrating the Nigerian State because we are no less patriotic
and committed to its continuing corporate existence.
“We are also in the same boat with him that ‘this country is
very important to some of us’ and the recognition that agitation and
protests are rights protected in a democratic society.
“Our worry, however, is that Akeredolu, even as the Chairman of
the Southern Governors Forum, would not, in deference to that high
pedestal, wean himself from petty politicking which sacrifices equity
needed for national peace and cohesion in preference of crass
opportunism. In short, his vituperation on that occasion was most
disastrously bereft of statesmanship and national conciliation.
“Truth be told, there is no region of Nigeria where the elite
including the ruling class in government has been able to determine the
methods adopted by agitators or succeeded in checkmating the effects
thereof.
“So, let Akeredolu not boast of any capacity to dictate the
method adopted by the Yoruba agitators or seek to set the rest of
Nigeria against his Ndigbo colleagues or the entire South East in his
unhidden separatist agenda of securing undue advantage for his party and
region in the quest for the Nigerian President of Southern extraction.
“We state for the umpteenth time, that the true and real recipe
for peace and continued corporate existence of Nigeria, is an
arrangement that will guarantee regional equity and not an ‘emi lo kan’
philosophy in the mode of King Louis’s l’état c’est moi.
“Incidentally, those who fought the civil war truly shed their
youthful blood and have seen all about Nigeria, are now in the vanguard
of the national movement not only for Southern but in the quest for the
requisite equity are in the queue for the Nigerian President of South
East extraction.
“There lies the solution to separatist agitations and not self-serving sanctimonious pontifications.”
