British High Commissioner Issues Statement On Yoruba Nation Petition by LifestyleTonite(op): 4:00pm On Oct 15, 2024

STATEMENT BY THE BRITISH HIGH COMMISSIONER ON PRESS COVERAGE ON A YORUBA NATION PETITION TO THE UK GOVERNMENT

Richard Montgomery, CMG, the High Commissioner of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Abuja, acknowledged the 15th October 2024 statement issued by the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the press coverage on a Yoruba Nation petition handed to No 10 Downing Street by a Nigerian national, Sunday Adeyemo. The High Commissioner was pleased to discuss this issue with Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs on 14th October 2024. He noted the Honourable Minister's concern and understood that press reports were misleading.

The High Commissioner reassured the Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs that the petition was in no way endorsed by any official body of the UK government or the UK Parliamentary Petitions Committee. The delivery merely reflected an established practice of allowing the delivery of letters and petitions to No10.

The High Commissioner noted that any petition concerning the sovereign affairs of another country are not a matter for the UK government. The High Commissioner underscored that this is a matter for the government and legislature of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and noted that similar petitions had been rejected by the UK Parliamentary Petitions Committee and the UK government in the past.

The High Commissioner agreed to continue liaising with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as needed.

The High Commissioner reiterated the importance of the bilateral partnership between the United Kingdom and the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He noted bilateral progress on a range of issues with the present administration of His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, and particularly new agreements on enhanced trade and investment, security and defence, and home affairs. He renewed his assurances of highest regards for the Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

This is how you don't listen when an agitator is trying to follow due process. If he loses his temper as Kanu did, you call him a terrorist. Useless British🪴

Let him loose it! He can still remember the colour of his prison key. Kanu and ekpa did not use their brains well because ipob was being directed by illiterates unlike Yoruba nation that is being directed by a professor who is being carefull of violating the law. Now, the response to honourable minister of foreign affairs was superb and expected. Ipob and Yoruba nations should return back to their local legislators to make right decision.

Yorubas wouldn't take harms killing their Yorubas unlike ipob and ekpa killing Igbo civilians, millitary, rich and poor because of futureless Biafra matter. Yorubas are more cultured and enlighten than ipobs in that regards

It’s just obvious igboho and his cohort are just catching cruise, if not for inferior complexity what did they expect the UK govt to do, to compel the federal government to secede them from Nigeria? Nah this ain’t done that way. There are different ways a country can seceded
1 consensual secession ( this is a mutual agreement between the country and the seceded one)
2 unilateral secession (one sided decision)
3 secession through conflict
There’s never been in history of any country that have successfully seceded by mere submission of a secession petition that’s the highest stage foolery, secession that is not done through conflict or war outbreaks like the Bangladesh-Pakistan in 1971 is done by referendum like Norway Sweden in 1905.
If truly they want secession just like the Uk govt has rightly said they should approach their home country for it maybe they could grant them referendum for that. UK has no power to secede a country from another that’s the height of ignorance I see Sunday’s move as clownish and lack substance
