We'll Join Calls For Yoruba Nation If Buhari's Government Fails To Restructure Nigeria—Afenifere In UK/Europe | Sahara Reporters

The branch of the Pan-Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, in the United Kingdom and Europe, has said the group and any other Yoruba groups, including agitators for Yoruba Nation are all labouring to improve the livelihood of people of Yoruba extraction.

The statement,"Our position after carefully examined the existence of the sovereignty of Nigeria, is to ensure that we go back to the agreement which made Nigeria. This structure was what enabled Chief Obafemi Awolowo discharged exemplary leadership and made meaningful impact on Yoruba people. "In 1950 Awolowo founded and organised the Action Group political party in Western Nigeria to participate in the Western Regional elections of 1951. The Action Group's platform called for immediate termination of British rule in Nigeria and for development of various public welfare programmes, including universal primary education, increase of health services in rural areas, diversification of the Western Regional economy, and democratization of local governments.

"Before Awolowo embarked on his ambition for the office of Federal Prime Minister, he was keen as ever on putting this region on a sound economic footing as a major player in industrial and commercial concerns. "WNDC under the leadership of Awolowo floated a large number of industries and companies wholly owned by the government or held in partnership with several foreign investors.

"The 25-storey building known as Cocoa House in Ibadan was started by Chief Awolowo’s administration. He laid the foundation and saw its completion by his successor as the crowning glory of his party’s success story. After completion in the sixties, the building remained the tallest in West Africa for decades thereafter," the statement stressed the benefits of true federalism to Yoruba.

I don’t care oooo I even hate him

Go talk to the lawmakers.

Is that the face of the man who returned only 20 pounds to Igbos after the war? I’ve been saying it that Hausas are not the problem, it is those who claim they love you but actually hate you with passion. They only love the money you generate for their states and pastors

Has he not failed already or what else are you waiting for maybe you don't feel the failure because you are not presently in the country
