Leader of the Ilana Omo Oodua (IOO), Emeritus Prof. Banji Akintoye on Friday said there is no going back on the planned Yoruba Nation rally in Lagos on Saturday.

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu had on Thursday warned secessionists to stay away from Lagos as no protest would be allowed in the state.

But the IOO said the rally would go on as planned and that it would be peaceful.

The group claimed to have written to Odumosu and copied Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to ensure that hoodlums did not hijack the protest.

A statement issued by its General Secretary, George Akinola and its legal adviser, Olasupo Ojo urged the police to make sure the protest was not hijacked.

“Our rally scheduled to hold on Saturday will still hold without any fear or intimidation and we promise to be peaceful like we have always been.

“We have been peaceful, orderly and lawful at everywhere we have visited, therefore, we call on the Lagos State Police Command to ensure that the rally is not hijacked by hoodlums.

“We are happy that the Police already know that hoodlums are likely to hijack the rally. Now, we call on the police to ensure such does not happen like it didn’t happen in Ekiti, Ondo, Osun, Oyo and Ogun States respectively where we’ve held our rallies,” the statement said.

According to IOO, It is the duty of the Police to safeguard “our peaceful demonstration and protect us. On our own part, we promise to cooperate with the police towards ensuring that the rally is peaceful and orderly.”

Baba wey go dey his house...

Except if Baba Akintoye is the governor or Commissioner of Lagos Police

Ok

The rally must go on peacefully. Anyone who wants to destroy Lagos is an enemy of the Yoruba people.
Anyone who wants to deny us our rights to protest peacefully is equally our enemy.

How can a 85 years old professor dare the police.

FAKENEWS.

Hmmmmmm Yoruba people again...

On human rights and freedom of expression;

Jonathan vs Buhari is like Light vs Day.

But can Nigeria survive an uprising?

How can a 84 years old dare the police

There's is no dare in that statement. Perhaps you read a different one.
The only people employing violence so far are the Fulani herdsmen and the Nigerian government.

Is that a dare? The right to peaceful assembly is guaranteed by the same constitution the president said he was defending.

Yes, the police have come out to say there will be no yoruba nation gathering in lagos state.

The constitution does not guarantee gathering for sucessionists

Your rights as a citizen is guaranteed by the constitution and not by the police. This is why we have the courts, so that the police can not just imprison you because they feel like it.

Nigeria is member of the United Nation right, and signatory to the UN charter on self determination.

The principle of self-determination is prominently embodied in Article I of the Charter of the United Nations. ... All peoples have the right to self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.

So, on what basis can Yoruba not able to ask for self determination, especially when Nigeria is clearly failing?

He's the major proponent

Nigerian constitution is greater than any UN charter..there is no self determination clause in the Nigerian constitution.
