ALANI Bankole, father of the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole, on Thursday berated agitators of the Yoruba Nation, describing them as “charlatans and exploiters”.
The octogenarian dismissed the Yoruba nation agitators, saying, even Afenifere, the pan-Yoruba socio-cultural group, had opposed calls for the breakup of the country. The group in a statement by its Chairman, Prof. Banji Akintoye, and made available to our correspondent by his media aide, Mr Maxwell Adeleye, to react to the allegation by the Presidency that NINAS members were supporting IPOB against the country, described the alleged ploy of the Nigerian government as unintelligent.
The statement read, “Now, the government is attempting, unintelligently, to criminalise peaceful organisations like NINAS, Ilana Omo Oodua, Lower Niger Congress and Middle-Belt Renaissance Movement for embarking on a peaceful march outside the shores of Nigeria where the guns and ammunition of the Presidency cannot touch them.
“We say to the Presidency that the unintelligent attempt to cause frictions and divisions between the Yoruba people in the West and the Igbo people in the East is dead on arrival. We shall continue to collaborate, peacefully, for the salvation of our people. Ohanaeze said IPOB’s agitation against unfair treatment of Ndigbo orchestrated by the regime of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari was justified.
