The promoter of Oduduwa Republic, Professor Banji Akintoye, has warned Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and others who attended the All Progressive Congress meeting in Lagos State on Sunday not to work against the interest of the Yoruba.


According to the PUNCH newspaper, the professor, who is also the President of Ilana Omo Oduduwa, stated that it is unfortunate that Tinubu and other South West Governors kicked against the establishment of the Oduduwa Republic and clinched one Nigeria. He added that they will certainly regret the decision in the near future.




Part of the statement read: " My prayer is that when they come to regret it, they will have the courage to change it and thereby re- establish themselves in the swelling current of Yoruba thought, Yoruba desire, and Yoruba expectations. "


Tinubu and APC leaders in the South West had earlier kicked against the agitation for Oduduwa Republic after meeting in Lagos State on Sunday. However, the leaders supported the ban on open grazing in the region and the call for true federalism, restructuring and devolution of power.


To be honest, the call for secession is totally out of context and those who keep pushing the agenda of separation are doing so for their own selfish interest, so that when it eventually happens they' ll be given a political post for their supposed role in the agitation.


However, what we need is a thorough restructuring and zero cases of nepotism, if all these can be done, the country will become what we' ve always envisaged it to be. If we decide to separate, the Yoruba people are going to suffer the most, given that we depend more on the other two tribes than necessary.
