Lekan Yusuf, Ibadan.
The Executive Council of the Yoruba Nation has commended Yoruba traditional rulers for boycotting a meeting on November 7, 2024, deemed ‘shameful’ by the Council.
The meeting, allegedly organized by self-serving predatory Yoruba politicians and traitors to the Yoruba cause said to aim at undermining the Yoruba youths’ resolve to establish the Republic of Orileede Yoruba.
According to the statement released by Dr. Ayo Coker, Publicity Secretary of Yoruba Self-determination Movement, the royal fathers’ boycott demonstrated ‘uncompromisingly progressive leadership and protected the dignity of Yoruba culture.’
The Yoruba Nation firmly rejects continued membership in the unsustainable Nigerian states citing unprecedented existential threats to Yoruba life, culture and livelihood.
The Council praised Yoruba youths for their role in mobilizing against the meeting and reaffirmed their commitment to proclaiming the Republic of Orileede Yoruba.
