The *Yoruba Nation Global Directorate*, which is made up of the Yoruba Nation transitional government in exile has asked to be joined in the suit by the Northern Elders asking to allow the Igbos to exit Nigeria by Referendum.
The suit was filled Wednesday at the Federal High Court Abuja.
It will be recalled that a group made up of Igbo lawyers had last week October 25th asked to be joined in the Northern Elders suit as an interested party.
Below is the statement by the Directorate as released by today the Secretariat if the Yoruba Nation Global Alliance:
Today being the *26th of October 2021 Yoruba Nation Global Directorate filed a suit at the Federal High Court Abuja* requesting to be joined as a party on behalf of the *Yoruba Nation* to the pending suit filed by the Northerners seeking for an order to allow the Igbos exit Nigeria by Referendum.
It will be recalled that the news broke out on and around 25th October 2021 that the igbo lawyers filed similar application pleading with the court to be a party to an action brought by the Northerners.
Whereas, a stitch in time saves nine. The Directorate considered the imperativeness of making hey whilst the sun shines and immediately took the necessary move to ensure that Yoruba Nation is not left behind.
The Yoruba nation has been agitating to leave the unworkable Union called Nigeria where the Fulani led federal government has destroyed the remaining fabric of federal through lopsided appointments, nepotism, mismanagement, incompetence in every facet of administrative and economic life of the country.
It is unimaginable that a region may be allowed to leave Nigeria whilst the Yoruba Nation whose people are tired of the rigmarole at the federal level would be left behind.
The lawyer to the Directorate, Barr. Timilehin Albert Odunwo, representing the Yọruba Nation Global Directorate said his clients and indeed the Yọruba have interests to protect in the matter and should be joined to the action filed by the Northern Elders.
