Akintoye laments foreign terrorists’ invasion of S’West

The Leader of Ilana Omo Oodua, Prof. Banji Akintoye, yesterday, lamented that some foreign terrorists had invaded parts of Yorubaland.

He stated this at the Ilana Omo Oodua congress held at Idi-Ape, Ibadan, Oyo State. Those present at the congress included Chief Moses Ogunyemi, Bishop Frederick Oyemade Macaulay, Adigun Makanjuola, Chief Babatunde Tajudeen, Chief Jimoh Olawale Taofeek and the Interim General Secretary, Ilana Omo Oodua, Chief Kunle Adelakun.

Akintoye, who urged all Yoruba descendants to demand a change in the Nigerian system, which he claimed, is faulty, also promised that the Yoruba nation would be actualised before the end of December.

“The foreign terrorists that Fulani have brought are now in our territory.

“Before the end of December, we will have our own country. I am a professor. I am solidly behind you. We are seriously behind you. Demand change, demand improvement. Our nation is in serious danger,” he said.

Adelakun, while speaking, said Nigeria had been hooked to slave masters, adding that the ruling class is hell-bent on thwarting democratic principles to favour their greed, ego and personal interests. He alleged that Nigeria as a project was designed to fail.

Adelakun said: “Let me say this to all, Nigeria is going nowhere, not because we don’t want it to grow or because we lack the intellectual capacity to make it work.

“Furthermore, Nigeria is a project (a country) that is designed to fail; a consumer nation in every ramification and a nation that failed in her responsibility to the citizenry. Nigeria is a nation that lacks technology that could cater for its industry and build a sustainable economy. It is, indeed, a nation of ideological bankruptcy. With these indices, can someone explain how it would work?

“All entreaties for the restructuring and the repositioning of the country had been turned down by the few cabals who hijacked Nigeria and turned it to their personal estate for personal benefits.”
