*Says President’s Utterances Causing More Divisions

Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

The Pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, said on Wednesday that President Muhammadu Buhari was failing in his duties as father of the nation.

The group expressed this view while noting that the president’s utterances were capable of compounding the already tensed situation in the country.

Afenifere’s National Publicity Secretary, Yinka Odumakin, said the statement by the president that he gave two ministerial slots to Kano and Kaduna because of the huge votes they gave him in the 2019 presidential election was unfortunate.

Speaking on the ongoing protest by members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Japan where President Buhari is attending the 7th Tokyo International Conference, Odumakin said it was time President Buhari summoned a meeting of all ethnic nationalities in the country where their grievances could be addressed.

“It is not only the grievances of IPOB that President Muhammadu Buhari should address, he should address the grievances in the land across board.

“I don’t know how it does not occur to the president that at this stage, we should be summoning Nigerians to dialogue over the state of the nation, how to bring down tension, how to build an inclusive country.

“How can the president go to Kaduna and say ‘I gave you two ministerial slots because you gave me the highest votes?

“Is that what he should be saying this season? Is that the kind of song the president should be singing?

“As the father of the nation, you should be looking at ways to lower tensions and bring people together as the father of all, build an inclusive country, and begin to address the grievances of all sections of the country and not to continue to pour petrol on a burning refuse.

“What was the reason for allowing Sheikh El-Zakzaky to return to the country? And look at their sickening argument that he wanted to stay in a five-star hotel. Even if he wants a 10-star hotel, why not allow it for the sake of peace?

“They should know the anti-corruption mood is not the mood in which you govern a country. We need a leader who gives all Nigerians a sense of belonging.

“Until the president begins to do that, Nigeria will continue to stumble from one crisis to another,” Afenifere said.

People like us never expected him to so no disappointment for us.
Enjoy next level

Nice speech you gat there... But One thing I know is that it is not easy to bring people of different ethnic groups and individual differences together.

I was once a Post holder in my department...I know how hard it was for me to even call for a general departmental meeting...

Even in the meeting some will agree to a certain point while some will disagree.

Well, I wish him all the Best and I pray God will always make way for peace to reign in Our Country Nigeria.

Stay Blessed.

Wetin concern father of the nation and bubari?

Buhari is a father of the Fulanis

That's because he's the not the Father of the Nation. Nobody is. Nigerians should stop this BS with father and Mother of the Nation. We all have fathers and mothers.

Which nation

Kudos to afenifere for speaking up against the aso rock tyrant


Although the dullard is not the father of the nation. Just the president

He knows nothing.

He made it clear from the beginning when he spoke about 97% and 5%. This man is not the kind of leader Nigeria should be having in this century. He is too archaic and outdated in his thinking

Because he's not patronizing you thieves.

Who will represent the Yoruba in Odumakin's proposed meeting of Nigerian nationalities, Afenifere? No way! Yinka do you think it's going to be like the 2014 Conference where you and your wife smuggled yourselves in as Delegates? Shameless, embittered turncoat! In which Yoruba meeting was Afenifere elected to represent the Yoruba, even when there are other more credible associations? God punish all of you conceited, self-interested goats.

Nothing but the truth

Do you know what I find funny about the IPOB matter?

Kanu and his people are just doing their thing next thing buhari rush and declared them a terrorist organization but what the Nigerian govt did not know is that you can be a terrorist without firing a single bullet.

You called IPOD a terrorist org, now they are terrorizing all over the world and people are complaining.

Look at how they are terrorizing him in Japan.

SIMPLE

Buhari is simply there to protect his gay cows & Fulani interest.

Buhari is not smart enough to know he is d father of d nation!

He only sees himself as father of Fulani and zombies!

Unfortunately, even at that he is failing because if you are d father of a child and you are not able to rebuke him when he does wrong, then you are a bad father. This is d sad case of Buhari and d Fulani herdsmen!

Buhari is a father of the Fulanis

You got it right for the most divisive president ever to ruin Lord Lugard's geographical space called Naijeriya.

Odumakin is a joker. All these rascals clamouring for restructuring should go and sleep. Let them channel their energy into holding the governors and local government workers accountable for the resources they currently manage. We don't want another N10billion naira national conference jamboree.
Let us sit down and make sure the current system works! There is money flowing through government! We should provide ideas for utilizing this money to the benefit of all. Instead of colluding with these public office holders to steal money and them come back and claim the reason nothing works is because our system is faulty. Let's stop this foolishness please.
If Nnamdi Kanu has better ideas for lifting Nigeria up, let him contest as governor of Imo. His popularity is massive there. He will win! He should them channel his ideas into developing imo and Iboland. Same goes for odumakin.
