Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola on Saturday described agitators for a Yoruna Nation as foolish, adding that “they should consider the consequences of war.”
Recall that among those clamouring for a separate nation for the Yoruba race is popular self-confessed activist, Sunday Adeyemo, better known as Sunday Igboho and the leader of Yoruba World Congress group, Professor Banji Akintoye.
Aregbesola said the agitators are foolish because they have not considered the consequences of war.
Aregbesola spoke on Saturday at the Zenabab Hotel, in his hometown of , Ilesha, Osun State, during his 64th birthday celebration.
He urged agitators to consider the women, children, old people and those living with disabilities who would be mostly affected by the consequences of war.
He said Nigeria must be more united or else African countries will be enslaved once again, noting that Nigeria is the country that will liberate Africa from all oppressions, therefore Nigerians must not give nod to secessionists.
“Anything that threatens and creates a problem for Nigeria may cause backwardness for our country for 50 years,” he added.
