Yoruba Nation: Alake Disagrees With Igboho, Says A Recipe For Civil War

Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, the Alake of Egbaland, has appealed to those advancing the birth of Oduduwa to abort the idea.

Alake also warned those beating the drum of war in Nigeria, saying that the y are not only calling for chaos in the country but in Africa at large.

The monarch peddled this when he played host to the National President of the National Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria, Musa Maitakobi, the Chairman of RTEAN in Ogun state, Titilayo Akibu, and other members of the association in his palace in Ake, Abeokuta.

Alake’s statement stands contrary to the erstwhile declaration of Yoruba nation and South-West secession from Nigeria by a Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Igboho.

The monarch said that Nigeria cannot afford to go through another civil war, explaining that no country in the world will be willing to have over 250 million Nigerians as refugees.

The monarch said Nigerians, irrespective of their tribe, political or religious afflictions, must collaborate together for the greater good of the country.

Alake said the entire black race has failed, if Nigeria fails as a country, noting that Nigeria is better as one united nation than breaking up.

He words: “Nigerians, wherever we go in Nigeria we must see ourselves as nationals of the same country, people of the same blood.

“We must work together to make Nigeria great because we must not fail, Nigeria must not fail, if Nigeria fails, the black race has failed and may it never happened.

“Where will over 250 million people go to? If they enter the next country, we will eat all their foods within two days, there will be no food for anybody in that place again that is why we must remain where we are and make Nigeria work and work well.”
