Culled from Thisday
The recent abduction of one of the foremost Yoruba leaders and
ex-Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Olu Falae, by
suspected Fulani herdsmen took a turn for the worse on Thursday as
prominent leaders threatened secession from the entity called Nigeria.
Their grouse ranges from the abduction of Falae and
the wanton destruction of his farmland to the need for a serious
restructuring of Nigeria to reflect true federalism.
“If we do not see any step in this direction within a reasonable time,
the Yoruba may reconsider their place in a union that cannot protect
them and would not allow them to protect themselves and use all
legitimate and peaceful means to attain self-determination,” part of the
communiqué issued at the end of the meetings said.
