Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu has disassociated herself from the stance of secession leader like Sunday Igboho as he has stated that he is not in support of any agitation for Yoruba Nation.
Recall Sunday Igboho held a rally in the state’s capital, Akure where he disclosed that he has the backing of the governors of the Yoruba States as he had no impediment in holding the rally. Governor Akeredolu has released a statement to make it clear that he is not on the side of any agitator for Yoruba nation.
The statement read; “It has come to the knowledge of the Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, that some group of persons who held a rally under the cover of what they term ‘secessionist agitations’ in Akure, on Saturday, May 22, 2021, erroneously claimed to have had his support for the rally.”
“Governor Akeredolu wishes to state clearly that while he acknowledges the right of individuals and groups to hold peaceful rallies, it must not be misconstrued to mean support for secessionist agenda and or balkanization of the nation. Far from it.”
“Unequivocally, the Governor’s opinion on the Akure rally or any other of its ilk, is only to the effect that he is not opposed to any civil protest which is not in breach of the extant laws of the Nation. He neither believes, nor supports the quest for the Yoruba Nation outside of Nigeria in the manner canvassed.”
“It is important, therefore, to state without any equivocation that the Yoruba Nation secessionist promoters do not enjoy any lending hand in Governor Akeredolu.”
