The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Ogun State chapter, has condemned in its entirety, the recent call by the acclaimed Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo (Sunday Igboho) for the secession of the Yoruba race from the Nigerian nation.
It would be recalled that Sunday Igboho had a few weeks ago declared the O’dua Republic, claiming the Yoruba race had ceased to be a part of Nigeria.
But, NANS in a press conference addressed in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital by its State Chairman, Damilola Simeon, maintained that the call is ill-timed.
The students’ leader said secession was not just for one ‘accidental activist’ to wake up and declare Oodua Republic without considering the implication of such on the masses and all concerned.
Speaking further, the association also called on the Federal Government to restructure the nation to address the various challenges facing it.
It could be recalled that a popular world Seer, Prophet Olagoroye Faleyimu has earlier warned Sunday Igboho to tread softly if he does not want the Yorubas to go against him in his fight to liberate his people.
In an interview with this medium, Olagoroye said, "The Yorubas are intelligent and one has to be careful when you want to serve as their voice. Sunday Igboho is doing fine as an activist for his race but he has slow down because soon people might rise up against him. He should be careful with words, and maintain decorum where and when necessary.
