A leading Elder statesman in the south-west, Ayo Adebanjo, has stated that the Yorubas will soon break away from Nigeria.
According to him, there are many signs that the country will soon disintegrate.
“We are going for disintegration. That is what I am sorry about. You cannot keep the country together like this. You would continually be suppressing there and suppressing there.
The Southern Kaduna affair, the people there shouted against regionalism, because of the oppression there.
“They said the Fulani were oppressing them.
If you look at the recommendations of the 2014 National Confab, we said any area that has economic interests are free to stay together after a referendum of 71 per cent. That was
how we brought in regionalism. We did all that to make sure we stay together.
“If you look at the agitation of the South South, South East, they are not even insisting on restructuring; it is restructuring
within Nigeria or outside of it. We even understand that some radical Yoruba have drawn the map of the Oduduwa Republic
and all that, but we are keeping them down.
“There is an advantage in the economy of scale but we cannot keep them down for too long when we know that they are being
cheated. We say those areas that they feel they are being cheated; let us iron it out so that we can stay together. What is wrong with that?”
