‘Nigeria’s unity is non-negotiable’ – Southwest group warns against mutiny, coup
The Concerned Yoruba Patriots has warned some politicians calling for a military coup, saying that the unity of Nigeria is “sacrosanct and non-negotiable.”
Addressing the rally, the convener, Elder Bankole Johnson, averred that those that have been spreading inciting messages were not representing the interest of the Yoruba nation but rather the interest of their paymasters that have ganged up against the soul of Nigeria.The exigencies of time indeed require that we must be guided in our public utterances in the interest of peace and sustainable development.
They have also started whipping up ethnic sentiments and portraying a particular ethnicity as against the interest of the country. This is indeed uncharitable and sad, but our consolation rests in the fact that the Yoruba Nation is on the side of one strong and indivisible Nigeria. We wish to state that this rally is to set the record straight and put issues in proper perspectives as regards where the Yoruba Nation stands with regards to the unity of Nigeria.
We the Concerned Yoruba Patriots are in solidarity with President Muhammadu Buhari for his giant strides in entrenching peace and security in South-West Nigeria. Our gratitude knows no bounds but for his rare display of sincerity of heart and purpose, the South-West would have been turned into a killing field by politicians and those who do not wish well for the country and the South-West region.
As members of the Concerned Yoruba Patriots, it is inexcusable for any group from the South-West region to attempt to undermine the efforts of President Muhammadu Buhari towards peace and security in South-West Nigeria. The Concerned Yoruba Patriots would resist such dispositions as well as mobilize the peace-loving people of the South-West region to the streets in solidarity with the federal government.
