The leader of the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation,
Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, said President Muhammadu Buhari is the number
enemy to the unity of Nigeria.
Adebanjo stated this on ‘The Morning Show,’ a breakfast
programme on ARISE NEWS Channel.
He said President Buhari has given wind to the sail of
separatist agitators in the country by ignoring the calls of patriotic
Nigerians for a new constitution.
Adebanho stressed that the 1999 Constitution (as amended)
was imposed on Nigerians by the military and must be changed.
He blamed the constitution for creating the conditions for
marginalisation and injustice against some parts of the country.
He said only a new constitution before the 2023 general
election can silence agitators like Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho.
He said: “Since President Buhari has refused to listen to the
masses concerning the call for a change in our constitution, which has led to
the continued agitations from different parts of the county, thus creating
disunity among Nigerians who are calling for secession, then it becomes obvious
that President Buhari is the number one enemy to the unity of Nigeria.”
Adebanjo accused Buhari of having a hidden agenda by
refusing to restructure Nigeria.
He said the youth were too impatient and could not bear the
sufferings inflicted on them by the present constitution.
“If Buhari is patriotic enough, a new constitution and
restructuring will silence Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB and Yoruba activist, Sunday
Igboho, and all others with their secessionist agenda.
“If you don’t, you will continue to give impetus to them.
You are encouraging secession. You want to suppress them. We are the people who
want restructuring. Those who make peaceful change impossible make violent
change inevitable.
“This constitution was imposed on Nigerians in 1966 by the
military, and it is the reason for the crisis we have today.
“We must restructure Nigeria and bring it back to true
federalism which our founding fathers fought for.
“The refusal of President Buhari and the members of APC to change the constitution is a clear indication that President Buhari and the APC government are the number one enemy of Nigeria’s unity if they continue to refuse the call for the restructuring of Nigeria back to true federalism,” Adebanjo added.
