…Says he stand by united Nigeria as demanded by Southern governors Forum
Ondo state governor,Rotimi Akeredolu has voiced his opposition to the Yoruba secessionist agenda saying the promoters do not enjoy his support in any way.
The declaration is coming on the heals of the Yoruba secessionist rally held in Akure the state capital Saturday which he said was erroneously claimed to have had his support.
In a statement by Richard Olatunde, his chief press secretary, he said that while 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.
“He therefore believes, nor supports the quest for the Yoruba nation outside of Nigeria in the manner canvassed. Governor Akeeedolu stands by a virile,united and indivisible Nigeria as demanded by Southern governors Forum”
He said that the vigour,zeal,leadership and candour displayed by Governor Akeeedolu for a just and fair Nigeria is altruistic, and borne out of patriotism for the Nation as well as love for his people, the Yoruba ethnic nationality.
