₦airaland Forum

In a powerful and unprecedented move, a coalition of prominent Yoruba socio-cultural organizations has issued a bold and unequivocal statement warning against any attempt by Yoruba individuals or political actors to undermine the potential emergence of an Igbo presidency in the 2027 general elections.

Speaking at a joint press conference held in Ibadan on Sunday, the Yoruba Leadership Forum (YLF), alongside other influential grassroots and pan-Yoruba groups, emphasized the importance of justice, equity, and unity in Nigeria’s democratic evolution.

"We are watching, and history is watching," said Chief Bayo Alade, a respected elder statesman and convener of the forum. "The Yoruba nation will not be used as a tool to frustrate the legitimate aspiration of the Igbo people in 2027. We warn — respectfully but firmly — any Yoruba sons or daughters attempting to sabotage this movement: there will be consequences."

The coalition pointed to the historic sacrifices and resilience of the South-East, stating that it is now morally and politically imperative for Nigeria to embrace inclusivity at the highest level of governance.

"The road to justice cannot be one-sided. Our brothers and sisters from the South-East have waited long enough. If Nigeria is to thrive, then fairness must no longer be postponed," declared Mrs. Funmi Adeyemi, a youth leader and policy advocate present at the event.

The groups stressed that the Yoruba and Igbo people, though culturally distinct, share a common destiny of greatness in Nigeria’s future. Rather than division, they called for a strategic alliance of southern unity — a South-South-East-West handshake across the Niger — to ensure the emergence of a truly representative presidency in 2027.

The leaders didn’t mince words when they said that any Yoruba person who chooses political greed over the greater good will be held accountable by the people and by history.

"We are not here to pick fights, but to call for clarity of purpose. If the North has had its turn, and the West has had its turn, then the East must also have its day under the sun. This is the essence of true federalism," said Professor Dapo Akanji, a political analyst and one of the speakers.

Social media has since erupted with praise for the coalition’s courageous stance, with hashtags like #Justice2027 and #YorubaIgboUnity trending across platforms.

The statement ends with a call to action for all Yoruba people — from the grassroots to the elite — to stand for equity and resist any clandestine plots that may derail the hopes of an inclusive and united Nigeria.

"The time has come for courage, not compromise. Let no Yoruba hand be found working against an Igbo presidency in 2027. Those who try will answer — not just to us — but to generations yet unborn."

APCNig:
Remove this nonsense within the next three market days, if not, you will see the hands of the gods.

Are you saying we should zone the Presidential seat to Peter Obi’s village? Since he ran away from Party Primary in PDP and went to collect ticket without any Primary election in Labourers Party. Why are Igbos afraid of contesting with others. Let Igbos face their fears, if they fail, they will try again another time

You will explain tire.
Have you greeted me this evening before posting your nonsense talk without thinking?

In a historic and heartening declaration, prominent Yoruba leaders have called on their people to fully embrace and support the Igbo presidency slated for 2027, urging unity and collaboration for the greater good of Nigeria. Rejecting any form of sabotage, these leaders emphasized that the strength of Nigeria lies in its unity and the mutual respect among its diverse ethnic groups.

Addressing a gathering of community stakeholders and youths, the Yoruba leaders passionately appealed to their fellow Yorubas to contribute resources, ideas, and goodwill towards ensuring the success of the Igbo presidency. They stressed that progress in Nigeria is not a zero-sum game but a shared journey where every ethnic group’s victory translates into national development.

“The future of Nigeria depends on us coming together to build a nation where everyone’s aspirations are valued and supported,” said one influential Yoruba elder. “We urge our people to see the Igbo presidency not as a threat but as an opportunity to strengthen our democracy, promote equity, and foster lasting peace.”

The leaders highlighted that collaboration between Yorubas and Igbos has historically fueled economic growth, cultural enrichment, and political stability in Nigeria. They reminded citizens that the vision of a united Nigeria requires all hands on deck—particularly from the largest ethnic groups working in harmony.

“Let us channel our energy and resources towards supporting the Igbo presidency. By doing so, we build a foundation of trust and pave the way for even greater cooperation in the future,” the leaders declared.

This call for unity has already begun inspiring grassroots movements and youth organizations within the Yoruba community, signaling a new era of interethnic cooperation and hope for the nation’s future.

As Nigeria approaches the 2027 elections, this unprecedented show of solidarity promises to deepen democratic values and position Nigeria on a path of inclusive growth and shared prosperity.

The annoying part is the mods know this but still allows his posts, check all the posts from those 3 monikers plus other I didn't mention and see how shallow minded an individual can be. Yet mods give his the stage to invite hate and angst against the Igbo.

The protest is going to be interesting because any person that participate on the protest will benefit from the palliative APC will bring to share after Nigerians insist all the palliative hidden inside aso rock should be released with immediate effect, as Yoruba elders and Yoruba traditional leaders will lead the protest.
Do not miss the protest because government must share the money that belong to Nigerians on that Saturday and every protesters will collect their share of the national cake.

Yoruba Elders Rebuke President Tinubu Over Controversial Policies Amid Growing National Discontent

In a rare and emphatic show of dissent, prominent Yoruba elders have publicly condemned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s recent policies, describing them as “worthless” and detrimental to the socio-economic well-being of the Yoruba people and Nigerians at large. The elders, who hold immense cultural and moral influence, expressed deep disappointment over what they see as a growing disconnect between the president’s administration and the aspirations of the Nigerian populace.

At a high-profile forum in Ibadan, several respected leaders voiced their frustrations, accusing the president of neglecting critical issues such as economic hardship, infrastructure decay, and national unity. They warned that Tinubu’s stubborn adherence to policies perceived as ineffective is risking the fragile cohesion of the nation.

Despite the mounting criticisms, President Tinubu has remained unyielding, reiterating his commitment to his agenda and dismissing calls for urgent policy recalibration. This posture has further strained the relationship between the government and traditional authorities, sparking fears of widening discontent that could undermine stability in the southwest and beyond.

Analysts suggest that the growing rift signals a pivotal moment for Nigeria, where bridging the gap between leadership and grassroots expectations is imperative. Without responsive governance that embraces inclusive dialogue and accountability, the nation risks deeper divisions at a critical juncture in its democratic journey.

As tensions simmer, many Nigerians watch closely, hoping for a breakthrough that aligns governance with the hopes and realities of all its people.

Nigerians are not happy

Abuja, Nigeria – October 9, 2025 –
A wave of frustration and discontent is sweeping across Nigeria, as citizens from various walks of life have declared their intention to stage a mass protest and possible sit-in outside the Presidential Villa, Aso Rock, in Abuja. The planned demonstration is a reaction to what many describe as worsening economic conditions, insecurity, and lack of visible government action on key national issues.

Organizers say the protest—scheduled to begin next weekend—is the result of years of unaddressed grievances and growing public despair. Many Nigerians, particularly youth groups, civil society organizations, and informal sector workers, have expressed that they are “tired of complaining online” and are now “ready to take action on the streets.”

“We’ve written letters, done peaceful marches, posted our struggles online, and still nothing has changed,” said Aminu Idris, a youth activist from Kaduna. “This time, we are heading to the gates of power. We want to be seen and heard where it matters most.”

one of the organizers, who asked to remain anonymous for security reasons said "We’ve had enough of the empty promises. Enough of the hardship. This time, we are not just speaking — we are showing up,”


Rising inflation, fuel subsidy removal, naira devaluation, and mass unemployment have pushed millions into poverty.


Social media has been instrumental in mobilizing support, with hashtags like #WeAreTired, #OccupyAsoRock, and #NigeriansDemandChange trending across platforms. Civil society groups, students, market women, professionals, and even some labor unions have signaled interest in joining what is being described as a peaceful but resolute protest.

Protesters say they are demanding urgent action from the government on key issues including:

The rising cost of living and fuel prices

Widespread unemployment and poverty

Insecurity and kidnapping across the country

Poor healthcare and education infrastructure

Lack of transparency and accountability from public officials


The protest is expected to take place on Saturday, October 18, 2025, starting from Unity Fountain and moving toward Aso Rock Villa.

Security agencies have yet to issue an official statement, but sources say discussions are ongoing within the presidency on how to respond.

Meanwhile, organizers are urging participants to remain peaceful and lawful, emphasizing that the protest is not aligned with any political party but represents “the collective voice of frustrated Nigerians.”

More updates to follow as the story develops.

YORUBA ELDER BLASTS TINUBU: HE STOLE NIGERIA’S PEACE — 2027 WILL BE A DISASTER IF HE GETS REELECTED

Public dissatisfaction with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration is intensifying as Nigerians across the country express frustration over worsening economic conditions. Civil society groups, opposition leaders, and ordinary citizens are increasingly vocal in demanding Tinubu’s resignation, citing failed economic reforms and deteriorating living standards.


At the heart of the unrest are a series of economic policies introduced by Tinubu, including:

Fuel subsidy removal, which has caused a sharp rise in petrol prices;

Naira devaluation, resulting in higher import costs and inflation;

Hikes in electricity tariffs, straining already burdened households;

Soaring food and transportation costs, leaving many struggling to survive.


While the reforms were intended to stabilize the economy, critics argue they have disproportionately hurt the poor and middle class.


Recent weeks have seen nationwide protests, with demonstrators gathering in Abuja, Lagos, Ibadan, and Port Harcourt. Protesters have decried what they call "anti-people policies" and demanded immediate relief.


Opposition governors from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) have called on Tinubu to resign, accusing him of lacking a clear plan to ease suffering.

Ethnic and regional groups, including some Yoruba coalitions, have echoed calls for tinubu's resignation, saying the administration has lost touch with the people.


The presidency has dismissed the resignation calls as politically motivated. Minister of Information Mohammed Idris stated that the opposition should “offer solutions, not distractions,” and insisted the reforms are necessary for long-term national growth.

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has stood firmly behind Tinubu. In May, the party officially endorsed him for re-election in 2027, despite growing unrest.


While resignation is unlikely without constitutional or legislative action, the public pressure reveals deep cracks in the government's popularity. Analysts warn that if inflation continues and social unrest grows, Tinubu’s political standing—and Nigeria’s stability—could be at risk.

As citizens grapple with the economic fallout, the president faces a stark choice: course correction, or escalating confrontation with a restless nation.

The people of Rivers State are up in arms, calling for the impeachment of President Bola Tinubu over his recent declaration of a state of emergency in the state. The emergency rule, imposed on March 18, 2025, suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy Ngozi Odu, and the entire State House of Assembly for six months.

Reasons Behind the Demand for Impeachment
- Perceived Abuse of Power: Critics argue that Tinubu's decision to impose a state of emergency was unconstitutional and an affront to democracy. They claim that the president overstepped his authority by suspending elected officials without sufficient justification.
- Lack of Transparency: The emergency rule has been criticized for lacking transparency and accountability. Many have questioned the motives behind Tinubu's decision, citing concerns about the impact on the state's governance and economy.
- Impact on Governance: The six-month emergency rule has had significant implications for Rivers State's governance. While the rule aimed to stabilize the state, it has also led to concerns about the accountability and management of state resources during this period.¹ ²

Reactions from Various Stakeholders
- Civil Society Groups: Civil society groups and opposition parties have expressed mixed feelings about the state of democracy in Rivers State following the emergency rule. Some have praised Tinubu's efforts to stabilize the state, while others have criticized his actions as an overreach of power.
- PDP's Stance: The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged Governor Fubara to resist pressure to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and instead focus on holding accountable those who oversaw Rivers State during the emergency period.
- Rivers Elders' Plea: The Rivers State Elders Council has called for unity and collaboration among the state's leaders and residents to ensure peace and progress.


As the emergency rule comes to an end, the people of Rivers State are eagerly awaiting the return of democratic governance. However, the controversy surrounding Tinubu's decision is likely to continue, with many demanding greater accountability and transparency in governance. With Governor Fubara set to resume office, the future of Rivers State's politics remains uncertain.

President Bola Tinubu's administration has been lambasted for its dismal performance, with many Nigerians expressing dissatisfaction with his policies and actions. The APC, once hailed as a beacon of hope, has failed to deliver on its promises, leaving citizens disillusioned and frustrated.

Economic Woes Deepen
- Inflation Soars: Nigerians are grappling with rising costs of living, unemployment, and poverty, despite Tinubu's economic reforms.
- Naira Loses Value: The naira has lost over 60% of its value, fuel prices have tripled, and electricity tariffs have risen while power supply remains unreliable.
- Businesses Shut Down: Many businesses have relocated or shut down completely, exacerbating the economic crisis.

Insecurity Persists
- Kidnappings and Banditry: The country has seen increased insecurity, with rampant kidnapping, banditry, and insurgency, which Tinubu's administration has struggled to address.
- Security Failures: Tinubu's security strategies have been criticized for prioritizing optics over outcomes, with a lack of coherence and vision.

Governance Failures
- Lack of Transparency: The government has been accused of lacking transparency and accountability, with critics arguing that Tinubu's administration is more interested in personal gain than serving the people.
- Poor Diplomacy: Nigeria's global image has suffered under Tinubu's leadership, with the country's pan-African leadership wane and foreign policy blunders.

APC's Internal Conflicts
- Infighting and Dissent: The APC is plagued by internal conflicts, with some members expressing dissatisfaction with Tinubu's leadership and the party's performance.
- Criticism from Chieftains: APC chieftains like Jackson Lekan Ojo have spoken out against Tinubu's administration, describing it as a "super failure" that has destroyed Nigeria beyond repair.

The widespread outrage and criticism of Tinubu's administration and the APC's failure to deliver on its promises have sparked calls for change and accountability. As Nigerians look to the future, it remains to be seen whether the current administration can turn things around or if a new leadership will be needed to restore the country's fortunes.
