A traditional ruler in Osun State, the Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba AbdurRosheed Akanbi, on Friday said he would be forced to join Yoruba nation agitators with other monarchs if the presidency is not given to the South in 2023.

In a statement made available to our correspondent by his Press Secretary, Alli Ibraheem, the monarch said the Yoruba nation agitators will be vindicated if power is retained in Northern Nigeria.

He maintained that the Southern candidates should be allowed to compete among themselves, saying that the conventional power shifting is cementing the unity of the nation.

The monarch who appealed to Northern traditional rulers, notable politicians and stakeholders, to intervene and support the power shift in Southern Nigeria, recalled how his traditional voice doused the tension of the agitators.

He posited that Southern candidates are credible and capable to lead Nigeria, saying there is no justification for denying them power for the unity of the country.

“We have a capable and credible candidate from Southern Nigeria vying to be president of Nigeria. The conventional power rotation has contributed immensely to cementing the unity of Nigeria. Retaining the power in the North will spur further agitations likely to question the oneness of Nigeria.

“I’m a leading natural paramount ruler from Southern Nigeria dousing tensions of the Yoruba nation agitators. My intervention was to ensure a united Nigeria. Then, the agitators raised many issues for consideration. One of them was the conventional power rotation of the presidency. We hoped their voice was noted for consideration. We don’t pray to see such a demonstration again. It can be curbed with political fairness ahead of the 2023 general elections. Politics must not tear the country apart.

“I’m appealing to Northern traditional rulers and stakeholders to consider the Southern presidency in the interest of fairness, equity and unity. President Muhammadu the return Buhari of Northern extraction has almost completed two terms of years. In fairness, power should return to the South.

“Retaining power the in the North will fuel Agitations. We hope some of us who quenched the previous protest will not join should the power remains in the North,” he stated.

Called us names,they said they are building bridge,today they can't pass the same bridge they built,they are calling on equity they know it doesn't favor them and they have never believe in it.


Tinubu played himself,he was thinking the election will be about tribe ,obi change the narrative to competence,reason they are crying, competence doesn't favor them, ethnic and tribal bigotry would done the magic.

We will watch tinubu to start his yuroba nation match because he lost an election.

Advocate500:
the joke is on you guys,common to show a picture of tinubu commissioning a project since yesterday,you guys are yet to provide us with a picture of his imaginary performance in Lagos.

AntonVince:
Kabiyesi, stop dividing us along ethnic/religious lines.
Abi is Nigeria no longer one?
Aren't you an ardent advocate of One-Nigeria?
Why should it matter where a president comes from since we are one indivisible entity?

This is hate speech! Your statement is a tacit call for insurrection.
We hereby call on the DSS to act swiftly and immediately "storm" Iwo to do the needful.
