Southern govs’ meeting: Afenifere blasts Sen President, says ‘sermon’ on restructuring mischievous

Yoruba won’t play second fiddle

Our irreducible minimum condition of staying in Nigeria is a restructured Nigeria

Dayo Johnson – Akure

The Pan Yoruba Socio-Political Group Afenifere has lambasted the Senate President Ahmed Lawan for chiding the southern governors on their call for restructuring of the country at their Asaba, Delta state meeting recently.

Its General Secretary, Chief Sola Ebiseni, in a statement said the Senate President has displayed unpardonable ignorance by his submission.

“The call on the Governors to first ensure restructuring in their States is a display of unpardonable ignorance by the head of the National Assembly, who ought to know that restructuring is not at the act, omission or pleasure of any government or individual State actor, but a holistic overhaul of the structure and character of the State, enshrined in the constitution and binding nilly-willy.

“The scepticism by the people of the incapacity of the National Assembly to bring about any meaningful restructuring is justified by this expressed mind-set.

“The sermon of the Senate President chiding the Governors, as elected leaders, not to give voice to these popular views of the people is most mischievous because, in agreement with Governor Okowa of Delta State, the Governors would otherwise have no business staying in office.

“It is convenient for Senator Lawan to play to the gallery calling for functional Local Government administration, which we agree, but it is also an issue in restructuring which must ensure that justice is equally done to the States, contrary to the nebulous and unjust award of the number of Local Governments, by the military, as presently in the constitution.

The groups statement was entitled “The Senate President and other jittery reactions to the southern governors meeting.

It reads “The statement credited to the President of the Nigerian Senate, Ahmed Lawan, best summarised some jittery and reactions to the birth of the Southern Governors Forum, their meeting at Asaba and the Resolutions arrived thereat.

“Nigeria came into being as an amalgamation of its Southern and Northern Protectorates, each of which is constituted by existing and entrenched ethnic nationalities.

“The North, which is more ethnically heterogeneous and exhibits irreconcilable intolerance among its faiths and even among sects of the same religion, still associates in different fora like a monolithic region.

“The existence and meeting of the Northern Governors Forum is taken for granted and the Buhari administration especially is pleased to relate with them as such an autonomous holistic region.

“For instance, at the aftermath of the #endsars# crisis, Northern Nigeria, on November 20, 2020, converged in Kaduna, in a meeting which paraded its 19 Governors and officials of the Federal Government which so shamefully exposed the nepotistic character of the Buhari administration.

“Senate President, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Attorney General of the Federation, Chief of Staff to the President, Inspector General of Police, National Security Adviser etc, all attended the meeting as northerners with the northern traditional rulers in attendance and participated.

“The Federal Government was only forced to hold such meetings in the South but separately on the geopolitical basis of South West, South East and South-South.

“The Southern Governors Forum is, therefore, a welcome development in engendering a balance of opinion on a two regional basis rather than a cacophony of voices on zonal basis.

“The southern ethnic nationalities are more agreeable among themselves as religious crisis is completely non-existent, neither are there inter-ethnic territorial contests or the fear of territorial ambition by any ethnic nationality to possess the land and dominate any other group.

“The South is completely united in the quest for restructuring of the federation, devolution of powers to the constituent states of the federation; they all suffer from insecurity imposed on their people by ethnic Fulani terrorists herdsmen and related kidnapping and armed banditry.

“It is so embarrassing and most unfortunate that under General Muhammadu Buhari, armed ethnic militias in the guise of herding animals would attack, sack and occupy communities while the people are relocated to IDP camps.

“The Southern Governors Forum is the logical response to the need for a common platform for unity of purpose for development and fight against insecurity and all forms of criminality.

“The same powers exercisable by some northern states banning trading in alcohol and destroying such wares in hundreds of Millions of Naira, belonging mainly to southerners, is not different from same by Southern or any state regulating the business of animal husbandry necessitating the ban of open grazing and transporting animals by foot.

“The other Resolutions contained in the communique are equally national and most patriotic in their concept and applicability as panacea for peaceful coexistence and development of Nigeria.

“Every issue raised in the communique, as indices of a true federal State, which include State Police, devolution of powers to the federating states, review of the revenue formula, reflection of the Federal character in appointments including at the commanding heights of the economy and national security, are what we, in the Afenifere, have placed on the front page of national discourse, particularly since the return to democratic rule and also fully embraced by other patriotic organisations including the Southern and Middle Belt Forum.

“They are contained in the reports of the 2014 National Conference already in the custody of the National Assembly.

“Those who interpret any call for restructuring as secessionist agitations need be told that Nigeria can only move forward by negotiations on terms reasonably agreeable to its stakeholders.

“To us, in the Afenifere, and as stated in the inaugural address of our Acting Leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, on Friday 14th May 2021, our consistent advocacy for the restructuring of the country to federalism is based on our founding philosophy.

“The Yoruba people are the only ethnic group that has never called for secession.

“We will be in Nigeria as equal partners in a federal Nigeria. A Nigeria in which we will play a second fiddle is most unacceptable.

“Therefore, our irreducible minimum condition of staying in Nigeria is a restructured Nigeria. Anything short of that is ‘‘to thy tent, oh Isreal.”

Afenifere concluded by saying that “The unity of horse and the rider in which a section of the country is the rider and we the horse is most unacceptable.”

Chief Ebiseni, they have already turned your people to 4th fiddle, soon, you might not be fiddled anymore

Yoruba nation is the solution.

Only if the likes of Tinubu and Oyetola will agree with you people. I think the terrorist Fulanis have stretched their grips on the west reason why there are many Emirates in the south west. Most of my Yoruba friends swore to me that they will rather be slaves to the Fulanis than vote for an Igbo man as their president. I've long given up on most people from that side of the country. Pathetic

Alright na

Nigga why all the lies, how many yoruba friends do you have that they all swore they will be slaves, maybe your imaginary nairaland friends. Nobody wants to be subjugated by any cow brained fulani like you, Oduduwa republic and Biafra is what we are championing for, I rather let an Igbo man be the president than allow a fulani cow dead brain rule over me.

Like I've said on another thread and I'll like to say it again. There's no middle ground on the agitations

.... Restructuring or Dissolution are the only sensible options.

I am for Oodua Nation.

There is no going back on this.. On Oodua Republic we stand.. We also sympathize with our Biafra brethren who have set in motion, the wheel of independence.. It's never easy. A decade ago, no one ever saw this coming but, it's gradually becoming a reality and, i have remain resolute to be very optimistic about this development..

For those of you complaining about unnecessary bloodshed that war brings, i want you to understand this statement by Thomas Jefferson which says thus ; "The tree of liberty shall be watered from time to time, by both the blood of the patriot and the tyrant"






Post No Bill..

Afenifere should 1st remove Yoruba Muslims mouth from the anus of fulanis, before the Great ODUDUWA nation will emerge, failure to do that, will birth a Fulani nation under the control of the caliphate, subjugating the yoruba Muslims as slave and foot soldiers, with fulanis as controllers, and also completely replacing all their traditional institution with Emirates controlled by fulanis, just as they did to hausa.

It's increasingly the becoming very evident, that Afenifere is the only reasonable organization with intelligent brains in the whole of South West political groupings..

“The same powers exercisable by some northern states banning trading in alcohol and destroying such wares in hundreds of Millions of Naira, belonging mainly to southerners, is not different from same by Southern or any state regulating the business of animal husbandry necessitating the ban of open grazing and transporting animals by foot.

Una don talk am finish

Na here Una come finish work.
I'm not Yoruba but I respect afenifere for their consistency on their resolute stance against injustice no be the rubbish we get as Ohanaeze ndi oshi for East.Only recently they bought sense.Useless people!

But in all,spoilers and Fulani asslickers like Tinubu go still put sand sand for Afenifere honest summation.
The miscreants he pays kobo kobo on nairaland will arrive here to fight their own Afenifere... That's how far they ve gone in leaking Fulanis ass for 2023 which he will be scammed broaddaylight by same fulanis.


Afenifere I know, Ohanaeze ndi oshi I don't know

oga I'm Igbo and I can confidently tell you that our political elites are fvcking Fulani asslickers just like their Yoruba counterparts too... only Afenifere stands tall in all South Nigeria.Niger Delta mugu eh,their own dey out of this world.Just look at Wike wey Fulani dey control anyhow.
So much respect to Afenifere

THE WHOLE OF NIGERIA IS YORUBA LAND. THE FULANIS ARE HOOLIGANS.

These northern elements thinks we are joking.
The earlier you restructure this country before 2023, the better for her existence.

COOOOORECT.

TINUBU IS FULANI.

E don be

Just like the devil, nothing scares the Fulani like a united South.

Northern governors have been meeting and dishing out orders.

For the first time in 60 years, Southern governors met and sleep has left all fulani's. Now Yoruba YOUTHs are mounting pressures on their elite to break away and own their own destiny. This alliance of Sunday Igboho and Kanu will mean doom. In very before of Buhari and his gang of vampires and blood sucking demons Nigeria is disintegrating but the clueless one is confused on what to do. Sunday Igboho needs to give the Yoruba struggle a name, make it an ideaology so its not centred around him cause the Fulani military will come after him soon. All Igbos knows that If Nnamdi Kanu dies today, there are many commanders that will take over.

Let me prophesy. 2023 is the year Nigeria ends. reason is simple. Fulani North will like to hold on to power at the center because they don't trust anyone in the South. The South will become more united and crisis will break out.

Start getting ready Nigeria will split and all regions will own their destiny and hold their leaders responsible.

TINUBU IS FULANI. TINUBU IS FROM ALGERIA.

orisa37:
TINUBU IS FULANI. TINUBU IS FROM ALGERIA.

Nope , there is no fulani in algeria at all .
