Divide Nigeria Before June 15 - Yoruba Nation Agitators, Sunday Igboho, Akintoye Tells Tinubu

The vanguard of Yoruba Nation agitation have given the Federal Government till June 15, 2024 to invite them to a negotiation table to discuss the status of the ethnic group in Nigeria.

The ultimatum is contained in a letter signed by the trio of Professor Adebanji Akintoye, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, leader of the Yoruba National Defence and Otunba Ola Ademola, Vice-Chairman Yoruba Self-determination Movement, and addressed to the Presidency.

The letter read in part: “That the Nigerian Federal Government shall, within the next two months, but not later than June 15, 2024, inform us Yoruba Self-determination Movement that the Nigerian Federal Government have graciously agreed to our proposal for negotiation and that they have set up a negotiation team that will meet and dialogue with our Yoruba nation’s negotiation team”.

Also contained in the letter was a request to break away from Nigeria as a result of the alleged hostilities of herders who threaten the existence of the Yoruba by persistent kidnapping, killing and maiming.

The letter, dated April 17, 2024, reads, “We send this letter most respectfully to Your Excellency as a follow-up to our earlier letter, dated August 06, 2022, which we delivered to your predecessor, President Muhammadu Buhari, in his exalted position then as President of Nigeria.”

“Since 2015, the Fulani have been killing widely among the other peoples of Nigeria, including us Yoruba, destroying farms, villages and other assets, kidnapping men, women and children, extorting large amounts of money as ransom from friends and family of the kidnapped, and repeatedly asserting their intention to seize the homelands of all the indigenous peoples of Nigeria for the purpose of turning all into a Fulani homeland.”

“In the Middle Belt, horrendous blood-letting is going on, very many families have been forced into Internally Displaced People Camps, and many of their villages have been seized by the Fulani and renamed as Fulani villages.

“In our Yoruba homeland, our people are resisting somewhat better, but the Fulani attacks and killings and kidnappings are unrelenting and are coming

According to an unofficial estimate, the Fulani have killed as many as 29,000 Yoruba people in the years since 2015.
.
“All these actions by the Fulani are, to us Yoruba, a sufficient reason for our seeking to separate our Yoruba nation from Nigeria. Most of us Yoruba have no confidence in the ‘Restructuring’ that some of our most respected Yoruba leaders are advocating.
.
Restructuring can’t keep Fulani herders away.
.
Still hinging to the attacks by the herders, the Yoruba leaders went further, “And our reason is that we know that restructuring cannot keep the Fulani marauders away from our homeland – since, after restructuring, the Fulani would still be Nigerians like us, and would still have full citizens’ rights to come in large numbers, and with weapons and intent to kill and destroy and seize land, to our homeland”.
.
“Their spokespersons have said again and again unambiguously that their Fulani nation has prepared all its citizens to fight their current war of subjugation and land seizure for decades and even centuries to come.
.
“We Yoruba must not underestimate the Fulani; we must not condemn our people to Fulani killings, destruction, molesting, kidnapping and extortion of ransom for decades or centuries to come. Our Yoruba nation may not survive such prolonged battering.
.
“Mr. President, another crucial matter that we Yoruba must bring before Your Excellency is the horrific and seriously disturbing character of the attitude and the utterly disrespectful approach of one of the nations of Nigeria, namely the Fulani nation, to the Federal Government and the sanctity, integrity and dignity of the Nigeria state and the public order.
.
“Your Excellency, since your inauguration as President of Nigeria in May 2023, the Fulani have stepped onto such a higher level of national devastation as to add mightily to our reasons for seeking to separate our Yoruba nation from Nigeria.
.
“We ask you to witness, Your Excellency, the two declarations of war by the Fulani against the President and the Federal government of Nigeria and against the entire Nigerian polity.
.

The fact that you believe the fulani bandits that are killing and kidnapping people, irrespective of their tribe and religion, aim to "Islamize" Nigeria shows how shallow your level of understanding of the situation is. These fulani bandits don't pray. One who doesn't pray the five daily prayers is not a Muslim. How can you then claim a non Muslim is trying to Islamize Nigeria?? These bastards enter into mosque when Muslims gather in prayer, kill those they can and kidnap those they want, and you claim they want to Islamze Nigeria?? It's okay if you don't like Muslims and Islam, but at least have some integrity not to lie against them.
