The Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola, on Sunday
criticized those agitating for Yoruba nation and Biafra Republic.
Oyetola said those agitation for secession are “unserious”
people.
Featuring on the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, Forum, Oyetola
harped on Nigeria’s unity.
The Governor said he believes in the economic restructuring
for more economic and political powers to get to state governments, rather than
a total breakup of the country.

have happened – Giwa to Buhari
He said: “What I believe in is that for us to live together
as a people, every unit of the enclave should have rights and responsibilities
clearly defined.
“To me, restructuring does not mean that people should
separate. Whoever is thinking along that line is not serious.
“We have come a long way, and it is togetherness that can
make us get to where we are supposed to be within the space in the world.”
The Governor said states should push for devolution of
powers rather than subscribing to the agitation for secession.
“I believe in devolution of power to the states, let the
states have more power to do most of the things they have been doing.
“Give the states more support, and I believe we should look
at the issue of revenue allocation. We should allow the states to have more
funds to develop some of the things they have,” Oyetola said.
