Some leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the
South West have disagreed with Sunday Adeyemo (Sunday Igboho) on his call for
the Yoruba nation.
The leaders include Bola Tinubu, Bisi Akande, Segun Osoba,
Governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), Gboyega Oyetola
(Osun), Speaker, House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila.
The leaders met on Sunday at the Government House, Marina,
Lagos to deliberate on issues of insecurity facing the region and Nigeria at
large, Gov Abiodun had said.
A statement released after the meeting informed that the APC
leaders expressed “strong opposition to separatist agitations and hate
speeches.”
Sunday Igboho has been a leading
voice on the agitation for the Oduduwa Republic, as he led his teeming
supporters to Akure, the Ondo State capital on Saturday for a rally.
Recall also that Igboho had been criticised on many
occasions for making inciting comments against perceived enemies of his
struggle for the Yoruba nation.
The APC leaders, making a veiled reference to Sunday Igboho
and his co-travellers, urged “those indulging in separatist agitations to
desist forthwith,” asking them to “renew their belief in the unity, stability
and sustainability of the country.”
In a statement on his verified Facebook page, Gov Abiodun
said, “Resolutions reached at the crucial meeting expressed reservations on
separatist agitations, solicited sustained provision of expenditure to the
Nigerian Army, sought true federalism for even development, and endorsed the
resolutions of the May 11 Southern Governors Summit held in Asaba.”
