Yoruba Nation: ‘You’ll face the consequences’ – Tinubu disowns agitators

President Bola Tinubu has delivered a stern warning to ethnic agitators whose actions pose a threat to the sovereignty and unity of Nigeria, asserting that they will be held accountable for their deeds.

Tinubu’s caution comes in response to the recent intrusion of Yoruba Nation agitators into the Oyo State House of Assembly Complex in Agodi, Ibadan, where they declared the independence of the ‘Democratic Republic of the Yoruba’.

During a meeting with leaders of the Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, led by Pa Reuben Fasoranti, Tinubu emphasized his stance on the issue.

He stated, “Those who believe they can challenge Nigeria’s sovereignty will face the consequences. There will be repercussions, and we will not waver.”

He said: “I am irrevocably committed to the unity of Nigeria and constitutional democracy.

“Constitutional democracy is reflected greatly here since we assumed office. What we face now is the challenge of terrorism.

“Security of life and property is very necessary for development. I can tell you we are achieving success.

“There’s an improvement from hoisting flags on the Nigerian properties and sovereignty.

“We have degraded terrorism to a level that they cannot threaten the sovereignty of Nigeria any longer.

“Banditry and kidnapping will be defeated and there is no payment of ransom whatsoever.

“We are taking the battle to them. We are getting results more rapidly than before.

“We are working hard on intelligence gathering.”
