The Agitators for the secession of Yorubaland from Nigeria have written an open letter to the British Government on the need to support the creation of Oduduwa Republic.
It should be recalled that the pro-Yoruba nation conveners embarked on peaceful mega rally in Ibadan on Saturday, 17th of April, 2021 which was monitored live by ODUDUWA NEWS correspondent.
Olayomi Koiki, a media expert who spoke to ODUDUWA NEWS correspondent said they have written an open letter to British Government levelling allegations of conspiracies and carefully planned plots to stifle Yoruba people from seeking their Independent nation.
Mr. Kehinde Michael who was assigned to speak on behalf of the agitators read the open letter as highlighted thus:
“The British is the major cause of our problem in Nigeria for bringing us together with the North (Hausa Fulani) and I want to ask the British Government some direct questions, is this how you treat your citizens, you kill them, you don’t provide them basic amenities like free education, free health care, good roads, stable electricity, cater for the old, provide for your citizens that have not gotten job.
“Can you the British government open fire on your citizens when they are protesting for their right, if all these I ask, you provide for your citizens, it is high time you listened to us, the masses in Nigeria.
“You the British government by your connivance has inflicted suffering on Nigerians, you allow the Nigerian politicians to be looting our money by acceptint them to launder the looted money in your country.
“Now, we the pro-Yoruba Nation people are saying “enough is enough”, we can’t take this anymore, we want to go our separate way peacefully to form our new Yoruba Nation.
We want the world to know that we want to leave NIGERIA and for the world to come to our aid so we can leave Nigeria peacefully, we don’t want to shed blood before we have our desired Nation.
“We are tired of this nepotistic and fraudulent government looting Nigerian resources to develop and construct railway from Nigeria to Niger Republic. All what we are saying is that we want to have Yoruba Nation and no going back.
The marauding killer herdsmen Fulani came to our land to rape, kill, kidnap and collect huge amount of money from our people.
“They are claiming our land is theirs and the present government is even giving money to the people killing us, we say no to this and we can’t take this anymore ENOUGH is ENOUGH.
We want to go our separate ways, instead of the present government led by Muhammed Buhari to stop the killings by Bandits is backing them because they are his tribal men. You will recall that during the endSARS protest at Lekki Tollgate, they shot and killed Nigerian citizens protesting and till now nothing has been done, as nobody has ever taken responsibility for the killings.
“The Nigeria government has failed to provide good health care for us, that’s why our president came to your country for medical check-up. We say no to this, alot of Nigerians can not afford to travel out of Nigeria for medical check-up
“We say no to election in 2023 because we (Yoruba people) don’t want to be part of Nigeria anymore.
“The 1914 amalgamation has expired since 2014 which is over hundred years Nigeria has been together. We have the fundamental human right to say we don’t want to be part of NIGERIA anymore.
We want our nation (Yoruba Republic) and I will implore the British Government and entire world to desist from supporting the cause of this contraption called Nigeria”.
