Afenifere should pass their demands through other leaders.. They have no moral justifications to demand anything from Buhari unless if they are not shameless beings

Buhari will not grant even one of their request

Nice one, the demands were on point and will move the country forward

[s]This is not the Afenifere that collected billions from Goatluck Jonathan in 2015 and billions from Atikuchukwu in 2019 and promised to deliver some nonexisting votes to the two idiots mentioned above. That Afenifere is the one being controlled by Obasanjo after Bola Ige the Afenifere leader died under Obasanjo's watch. That Afenifere is Stomach Infrastructure Afenifere.

This group of Afenifere is the people's group that liaise with the masses.[/s]

Ineffectual consolation.

Coward afonja, keep your head buried in the sand, as usual, while Sultan of Sokoto installs emir for oshogbo and cattle reserve for your papa brown roof compound...dudu smelling goat.

All these 5 requests are not realistic naa

1) Security: Buhari will only address security if u agree to allow Myetti Allah be the security architecture

2) Education: Buhari no go school naaa. Can you give what you don't have?

3) Youth Empowerment: Buhari sees our youths as lazy naa. Can your employ a lazy person in your company?

4) True Federalism: The last time some people raised this issue, a snake danced and an Albino disappeared only to reappear as a porn star

5) Power and Agriculture: Buhari is currently looking for an old Northern dinosaur to appoint as the new ministers for each. Keep your fingers crossed.

wahlai you no well

Very good they were not selfish in their demands, others should learn from them

Any time this President talks without reading from a speech written for him these two things must come out of his mouth.1 He contested 3 times and went up to supreme court. 2The rains have been so good and bumper harvest for farmers. There used to be a third one about herdsmen carrying cutlass and stick to clear foliage for cattle.That stopped after his misadventure to white house where he totally appeared out of depth for a 21st century leader.
This has made me to wonder if what people are saying about him being totally empty upstairs is accurate.

Leadership of Afenifere yesterday presented five demands to President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The group led by Chief Ayo Fasanmi told the president that the five demands would assist in addressing the challenges facing the country.

Those who attended the meeting were Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Segun Osoba, Abiola Ajimobi, Sen. Adedayo Adeyeye, Chief Kemi Nelson, Laoye Tomori, Solomon Akindele,Elder Yemi Alade, Mutiu Are, among others.

The socio-cultural group in a prepared speech read by Senator Olabiyi Durojaiye, requested the president to consider recruitment, training, equipment and deployment of Nigerian Police on the basis of 774 local government areas.

“Please permit us, Mr. President, to submit our humble request of the following 5 major issues of paramount importance to South-West Nigeria in particular and the unity, progress and happiness of the entire country in general.

“Security: The huge cost not-withstanding, it may be considered worthwhile to take a bold step in combating crime and improving on security by improving on the apparent shortage of the manpower in the Nigeria Police Force and by extending control of the Police from the State to Local Government level.

“By this, we humbly suggest that Mr. President should reflect deeply and consider recruitment, training, equipment and deployment of Nigerian Police on the basis of 774 Local Governments listed in the First Schedule of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” they said.

Another request of the group was the provision of free and compulsory education in the country.

“Education: “Free Universal and Compulsory Education“ had been practiced with remarkable success in some parts of Nigeria in the past.

“Mr. President may consider re-introducing the programme and make it compulsory at all levels and all over the country as a lasting gift to Nigeria in his final term in office. Such a bold step though very expensive will revolutionize and catapult the entire nation to the next higher level,” they said.

They also requested for the massive youth empowerment program in the country.

“Youth Employment: One of the obvious advantages that will accrue from Education Programme which will include Basic, Technical, Skill Acquisition, Digitalization and ICT Programmes will be to Open wide gates to Youth Employment in Nigeria and in the Diaspora,” they said.

The fourth demand of the group was true federalism, saying “We seriously recommend clinging to the spirit and letters of our Federal Constitution.

“This is one sure way of achieving the desired goal of unity even in diversity, mutual respect, tolerance and giving true meaning to the opening phrase of our Constitution that is, “WE THE PEOPLE”.

“We will be a greater nation if we sincerely practice true Federalism and THINK and ACT as NIGERIANS rather than as champions of the smaller units we were born into. Our big size is an asset worthy of preservation. Good examples of big size, hard work and prudent spending are the USA, China and India.

“It is not with violence or hate speeches but with mutual trust, self-respect and tolerance that we will speedily achieve the lofty destiny of this great country, Nigeria.”

The Afenifere leaders also requested the president to give more attention to the issue of power supply and agriculture.

“We have already commended your Administration on its remarkable achievements in the field of agriculture. But the country asks for more, especially in the Field of afforestation, irrigation and revival of those agricultural products like Cocoa, Groundnut, Cotton, Palm Products and processing them for domestic consumption and export as Malaysia which borrowed seedlings from us has now gone far ahead of us,” they said.

Responding, President Buhari said the requests would be looked into in line with his 2019 campaign pledges.

“On your request, you know what we (when I say we this time around I mean our party), what we campaigned on in 2015 and this year is security, economy and fighting corruption. These things are basic because we cannot secure our country or an institution unless we secure it.

“What was happening in the north east and is still happening to some degree in the north central or the south west, is true that we have made some progress but there are still some problems and those problems we are trying to solve them within our physical and material resources,” he said.

On fighting corruption, he said, “ Now what I do is when a person cannot justify what he has or fails to declare as the constitution specifies, some of them dear to Almighty God that their property doesn’t belong to them until we show them their bank accounts and their companies then we have some peace.

“So we are recovering as much as we can under the system and this time around I said the properties will be sold and the money put in the treasury.

“But anybody who cannot account for what he has and for refusing to declare, we will have to do something about it.

“I will tell you as Afenirere, that was why I had to deal though reluctantly with the former Chief Justice. Because there were millions of dollars, euros not to talk of naira which were not declared. I wonder what sort of conscience some of us have, how can you seat and preside and lock people up for years and even sentence some to death and yet you are not doing what the constitution said you should do by occupying that vital institution.

“So institution like yours when you have secured your constituency constitutionally and materially you can help this country. And really this country needs you and you need this country with the future generation because of the population explosion we are going through and the limited resources and the deficits of infrastructure.”

In an interview, Tinubu said the next level the APC promised to the country to was broad.

“The next Level is broad. You have economic progress that we are working for as a party; we have the diversity of the economy itself; we have the various scale of thinking that the economic council will have to bring about; the infrastructural deficit; poverty, security; those are the things that we will put emphasis on; you know it; I know it; there is infrastructural deficit across the country and without infrastructure, you cannot galvanise the economy; you have the question of electricity that is critical to industrialization and economic growth,” he said.

THEY SHOULD FIGHT FOR NIGERIA TO BE RESTRUCTURED.

THE COUNTRY IS BEING RUN UNDER A MILITARY IMPOSED CONSTITUTION AND UNITARY SYSTEM THAT FAVOURED MAINLY NORTHERN NIGERIA AGAINST OTHER SECTION OF THE COUNTRY PARTICULARLY THE NIGER DELTA REGION.

WITH A RESTRUCTURED COUNTRY, ALL THOSE THEIR ITEM 7 THAT THEY LISTED WILL BE ENTERTAINED.

Mk12:

mumu which security did they talk about? instead of them demanding for an end to this herdsmen and bandit invasion, they are talking about police sharing

If you had any sense you wouldn't post this nonsense. Just read your comment. Makes no sense

These are APC SW morons and fulani slaves and not Afenifere.
They are not even ashamed to falsely identify themselves as Afenifere.
This shows they've realised the popularity, relevance and acceptability of Afenifere in yorubaland.

Iam not one of them but truly I respect their request it will help Nigeria in general, this people are better than our leaders In the North who only meet for their personal benefit.

No mention of the herdsman menace, rape, murder, land grabbing and torture, this is obviously the APC faction of afenifere...

stop embarrassing yourself.how can you fight insecurity by mar saying without putting logistics and man power in place which they had requested ?? Sorry you always recognise whoever come out to make noise and insulting government without any meaningful idea or solution to the issues on grand.OK now tell us if you are giving the opportunity to be a president !!! What will you do to solve the issues of Fulani headsmen and kidnapping in Nigeria?? Which I know propagandas can not solve.

Godoverevery:

and who is Yinka Odumakin in the south West......can he even speak for the people in his local govt not to talk of the whole Yoruba race....who no am?
Go on the street of any Southwest state and ask the local people if they no that name....he is only known on the internet.
whelter you like it or not tinubu is a Yoruba leader and he can conveniently speak for us.#that is a fact you other tribes need to get straight#

Yoruba leader my foot

how can you provide solution by avoiding the causes of insecurity so you won't offend the people up there? or you think we are all kid? tell me how their suggestion will solve the problem of herdsmen?

instead of demanding that the president ban the movement of cows from state to state there are bringing useless suggestion. tell me anywhere in the world where cows are allowed to wander in highways and even railway.

why should some people private business bring so much bloodshed to a country and that business is still allowed to function

Believe these bunch of deceivers at your own risk. Over 90% of true Yorubas are deceivers! I grew up with them & still know them quite well. Else, with all that's happening in the country can you see that their fictitious demands?

All the Afenifere request are focused on national benefits unlike a group called Ohaneze that will be ranting Igbos this Igbo that.

Thank God kwara state is not a south west state. We voted for baba.

. Nigeria problems is not only headsmen Issues .though it is not normal for headsmen to be rearing cows in public but that is where we meet ourselves in Nigeria and not created by the present government !!! Mind you Fulani were like this before Buhari become the president.you can't ban Fulani in Nigeria unless you want to cause more trouble not because one of them is the president but they are the most spreads ethnics in Nigeria .there is no state or local govmt area you will not see Fulani and if the war is declared against them it may lead to civil war as sensitive as it is. To me each state has to improve in security by orientate Fulanis and farmers how to manage not to be an enemies to one another and registering all Fulani that want to operate in their states with identity by taking there leaders responsible for any issues emanated from any Fulani in each state. .Giving them boundaries where they can rear .Give them rule and regulation with penalty in case if there is violation of rule and regulation.there is little the federal government can do abt it but it must give support publicly and provide logistics for the states to carry out those activities.it is easy to declare war or banning any group or ethnic that are residing majorly in one area not spread as Fulani's .Lastly we nigerians are the one consuming Fulani's product. you can imaging what it can lead to economically by banning Fulani in Nigeria.
