The Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, has
accused the Northern Elders Forum, NEF, of fueling the ember of secession.
Jare Ajayi, National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, said
recent comments from his NEF’s counterpart, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed is part of the
reasons some Nigerians were craving for secession.
Speaking with Dailypost, Ajayi urged President Muhammadu
Buhari to call Baba-Ahmed to order.
On Baba-Ahmed’s claim that North will retain power, Ajayi
said they do not have the monopoly to rule Nigeria.
According to Ajayi: “The North does not have the monopoly of
who can govern this country well.
“The kind of governance we have in the past six years which
would be eight in 2023 is not the kind we worked, prayed for or desired.
“What Baba-Ahmed is saying is undemocratic, unfair, and
unfortunately, it’s that kind of posture that is responsible for those
agitating to leave Nigeria.
“It’s unfair, we are using this opportunity to call on
President Muhammadu Buhari to call Baba-Ahmed to order because what they are
saying is fueling the ember of discord.
“This is not the kind of thing that would unify the country.
It’s unfortunate that it’s coming from a person like him and he needs to be
cautioned.”
