Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation Minister, on Wednesday, said the
time was right for Yorubas to demand the breakup of Nigeria and
creation of Oduduwa Republic.
He noted that the current killings allegedly being perpetrated by
armed herdsmen was an indication that Yorubas must call for secession.
In a series of tweets, the former Minister stressed that people of the
South West could no longer be part of Nigeria because President
Muhammadu Buhari allegedly opposes restructuring.
Fani-Kayode wrote: "Any Fulani man that refuses to openly and
unequivocally condemn the slaughter, ethnic cleansing and mass murder
of Middle Belters, southerners and other Nigerians by Fulani herdsmen
is no friend of mine. As a matter of fact such a person is a mortal
enemy.
"Thank God that I am Yoruba. I was born Yoruba and I will die Yoruba.
'Omo karo jire ni mi!' And with the way things are going in Nigeria, I
think that it is about time for the Yoruba to exercise their right of
self-determination and consider the establishment of Oduduwa Republic.
"We cannot remain in a country where the President encourages and
supports mass murder, genocide, and ethnic cleansing, where he says
"no" to restructuring and where the life of a cow is worth more than
the life of a human being. There is no fellowship between light and
darkness!"
