Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu has stated that he is not in support of any agitation for Yoruba Nation.

Akeredolu, in a statement sent to POLITICS NIGERIA on Sunday, disclosed that he was not offering any form of support or backing to Yoruba Nation Agitators. The Governor's statement is coming a day after group advocating for the secession of the Yorubas from Nigeria held a rally in the state's capital, Akure.

The statement read; "It has come to the knowledge of the Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, that some group of persons who held a rally under the cover of what they term 'secessionist agitations' in Akure, on Saturday, May 22, 2021, erroneously claimed to have had his support for the rally."

"Governor Akeredolu wishes to state clearly that while he acknowledges the right of individuals and groups to hold peaceful rallies, it must not be misconstrued to mean support for secessionist agenda and or balkanization of the nation. Far from it."

"Unequivocally, the Governor’s opinion on the Akure rally or any other of its ilk, is only to the effect that he is not opposed to any civil protest which is not in breach of the extant laws of the Nation. He neither believes, nor supports the quest for the Yoruba Nation outside of Nigeria in the manner canvassed."

"It is important, therefore, to state without any equivocation that the Yoruba Nation secessionist promoters do not enjoy any lending hand in Governor Akeredolu."

Your ridiculous comment is now accentuating. You are tribalistic and dogmatic.

Must everyone go with you on every decision? Try to be a better man and stop that childish act of yours.

ygowon:
fuk ur support

habsydiamond:
If u are not in support then lead by example by doing the right at the right time to the people u are governing... We masses have not ask for something too much... We only ask for the benefits other advanced nations are enjoying most especially 24/7 electricity, good health, payment of workers at when due, good water and motorable roads not the Dakar really ones given to us... Among other benefits... I don't think this is too much.. Lastly right to life must be taken seriously by the government and the security must be worked on.. Cos now we dont have any at the moment

Yea, this does not come to me as a surprise sir; no Nigerian governor would be in support because power is sweet. However, it is the failures of our past and current leaders that have led to people like Kanu and Sunday Igboho to try and force the idea of breaking up the country.

Akeredolu, sooner or later you will have no choice but to maybe support the idea.
