Basorun Sehinde Arogbofa is the Secretary-General of the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere. In this interview with PETER DADA, the octogenarian speaks on the state of the nation, the position of the group and the agitation for a Yoruba nation, among other national issuesrecent times, some people have been calling for an autonomous Yoruba nation and this has become a controversial issue among the Yoruba elites and non-elites.
If the younger ones see things from this angle and they see themselves being driven away from their land or being harassed from their lands or the Fulani herdsmen want to take away their land by force, they have the right to seek a redress. And I think all these things are now pushing the younger ones to talk of secession.
We don’t think we need any constitutional conference again at this point, because all we need to make this country work is already in the 2014 confab report. What are the problems facing us in this country? Insecurity of lives and property. Ways of addressing them are there. For example, the need for state police, we said it there. Talk of unemployment, there is a solution to the issue of unemployment. Another problem we are facing in this country is lack of development.
Everyone has been pushed to the wall already by herdsmen

BREAKING: Police confirms threats to Lagos by IPOB, Yoruba groups - Daily Post NigeriaThe Police in Lagos says the command is investigating threats by the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) and Yoruba separatists groups. Commissioner of Creating chaos where there’s none. We IPOB don’t have anything to do with Lagos as it’s not Biafran territory. But no threats on Abuja by bandits coming into Bwari with lorries, I think there is a clandestine move by these evil people in power to disarm the south before they finally hatch their evil plan. BUT GOD IS BIGGER THAN MAN.
