Afenifere Faults Akeredolu’s Comments On Yoruba Nation Agitation by greenermodels: 9:27pm On Dec 24, 2022 |
The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, on Saturday berated the Ondo State Governor, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu, over the latter’s comment about the agitation of the Yoruba Nation. Akeredolu, who is the Chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum has declared that those who are agitating for the Yoruba Nation were enemies of the country. Akeredolu made the declaration at the launching of the emblem appeal to flag off the 2023 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebrations held in Akure, the state capital, on Friday. In a statement issued by the Secretary General of the Afenifere, Mr Sola Ebiseni, faulted Akeredolu’s position on the regional agitation, as it said the governor was playing to the galaxy. The statement was titled, ‘Akeredolu: Between equity and opportunism.’ The statement read, “The statement credited to Governor Akeredolu of Ondo State at the launching of an emblem appeal to flag off the 2023 Armed Forces Remembrance Day, unfortunately, confirmed the scarcity of statesmanship in our clime particularly faced with the lust for political power. “We have no problem with the governor playing to the gallery, as a glorified Chief Security Officer, urging that security forces clamp down on any person or group whose activities he interpreted as capable of disintegrating the Nigerian State because we are no less patriotic and committed to its continuing corporate existence. “We are also in the same boat with him that ‘this country is very important to some of us’ and the recognition that agitation and protests are rights protected in a democratic society. “Our worry, however, is that Akeredolu, even as the Chairman of the Southern Governors Forum, would not, in deference to that high pedestal, wean himself from petty politicking which sacrifices equity needed for national peace and cohesion in preference of crass opportunism. In short, his vituperation on that occasion was most disastrously bereft of statesmanship and national conciliation.” It added, “Truth be told, there is no region of Nigeria where the elite including the ruling class in government has been able to determine the methods adopted by agitators or succeeded in checkmating the effects thereof. “So, let Akeredolu not boast of any capacity to dictate the method adopted by the Yoruba agitators or seek to set the rest of Nigeria against his Ndigbo colleagues or the entire South East in his unhidden separatist agenda of securing undue advantage for his party and region in the quest for the Nigerian President of Southern extraction. “We state for the umpteenth time, that the true and real recipe for peace and continued corporate existence of Nigeria, is an arrangement that will guarantee regional equity and not an ‘emi lo kan’ philosophy in the mode of King Louis’s l’état c’est moi. “Incidentally, those who fought the civil war truly shed their youthful blood and have seen all about Nigeria, are now in the vanguard of the national movement not only for Southern but in the quest for the requisite equity are in the queue for the Nigerian President of South East extraction. “There lies the solution to separatist agitations and not self-serving sanctimonious pontifications.” https://punchng.com/afenifere-faults-akeredolus-comments-on-yoruba-nation-agitation/ 2 Likes |

Real Omuolabis have spoken. Akeredolu is a Tinubu boy, SW will vote for equity and will reject Muslim/Muslim ticket. Akeredolu must desist from tagging IPOB while commenting on agitations in yorubaland. It makes him sound like Tinubu online urchins 9 Likes |

An average Nigerian politician like Akeredolu is heartlessly selfish and shameless. Thank God that it's his brothers that are telling him the bitter truth. All southern regions have his type. 7 Likes |

I used to admire the courage of Governor Arakurin Rotimi Akeredolu especially on the formation and deployment of Amotekun squad to contain the onslaught of the rampaging feudal killers from Futon Jallon Plateau until of late when he started yarning trash because he has swing to supporting the presidential ambition of an invalid. Though it is his political choice but that should never becloud his sense of sound judgement on a sensitive issue as the right to self assertion in the background that he is a sound SAN lawyer. 1 Like |

greenermodels: GOVERNOR Rotimi Akeredolu WAS RIGHT TO HAVE MADE THE STATEMENT TO THE EFFECT THAT WHOEVER IS AGAITATING FOR THE DECIMATION OF NIGERIA AND ANY COOPERATE ENTITY FOR THAT MATTER IS AN ENEMY OF THE SOVEREIGNITY OF SUCH COMPOSITION. It is the ABSOLUTE truth yet and reality of the matter in purview. You are either for or against an entity. THE SELF SERVING BUFFOONS WHO WOULD WANT TO PASS FOR AGITATORS ARE BUNCH OF GOONS WHO ARE NEITHER TAUGHT NOR VAST IN THE POLITICAL HISTORY OF BOTH THE Yoruba PEOPLE AND THE COUNTRY NIGERIA. You may want to read [https://www.nairaland.com/6976106/trip] to educate yourself and pass on to the DUNCES fighting a moribund course of misadventure. TO EVEN AVER THAT GOVERNOR Akeredolu IS A GLORIFIED SECURITY OFFICER IS MOST DISINGENUOUS. EXCEPT THE FOOLISH SPOKESPERSON OF THE GROUP OTHERWISE REFERED TO AND KNOWN AS Afenifebi CURRENTLY, IS LOST IN BOTH THOUGHT AND CURRENT AFFAIRS OF THE SEUCRITY ARCHITECTURE OF THE WEST. Governor Rotimti Akeredolu is pivotal to the setting up of and the creation of a nexus of a brand new security network for the people of the WEST with the birth and introduction of Amotekun. Which would have been impossible but for the doggedness determination of the Governor the Afenifebi people would wish and pray he fails. THESE Afenifebi IDIOTS CLAIMS THEY ARE FIGHTING THE Yoruba COURSE AND ARE THE SAME PEOPLE IN THE FOREFRONT OF OPPOSITION TO THE LEADING Yoruba POLITICIAN WHO THREW HIS HAT IN THE RACE FOR THE PRESIDENCY OF NIGERIA. Who still listen to the banditry of buffoons, self proclaim misleading goons. A band of ill wishers and anti Yoruba in all ramifications including unfettered utterances against their own who is gunning for the highest office in the Nigerian political space. IT IS HIGH TIME AND THE TIME IS NOW FOR THESE IDIOTS TO DISAPPEAR FROM THE SOCIOPOLITICAL LIFE OF THE Yoruba PEOPLE. |
