The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, on Saturday called those leading and supporting agitation for the Yoruba Nation ’foolish’.
Aregbesola, while speaking at Zenabab Hotel, Ilesha, Osun State during his 64th birthday celebration warned that agitators must consider the women, children, old people and those living with disabilities who are mostly affected, stressing that “they should consider the consequences of war.”
He said Nigeria must be more united else African countries will be enslaved once again.
He noted 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.
Meanwhile, there was heavy security in Ekiti over protest by Yoruba Nation agitators but that did not stop the protesters from converging in the state.
Other South-West states have also had their share of the protests in the past weeks.
