Ekiti State governor, Kayode Fayemi, has made a shocking revelation that some external forces are behind those agitating for the break up of Nigeria across ethnic lines.
Governor Fayemi said that the agitations were part of calculated plans by external forces in collaboration with their conspirators in the country to disintegrate Nigeria and cause an untold humanitarian crisis.
He stated this at the weekend in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, at a colloquium held to mark this year’s June 12 with the theme: “June 12: Securing the Freedom of Democracy”.
The colloquium, which was chaired by the National Chairman of the Afenifere Renewal Group, Chief Wale Osun, had veteran journalist, Dare Babarinsa, a member of Ekiti State House of Assembly, Hon. Lateef Akanle and Chairperson, Ado Local Government Council, Mrs. Omotunde Fajuyi as panelists.
The Governor explained that the rising tide of agitations for secession in some parts of the country could be curtailed political leaders and the elite are challenged to promote issues that unite the country through fairness, equity, and justice rather than issues of division.
Fayemi said such a unity of purpose and togetherness as well as patriotic positive disposition to the overall wellbeing of the country were needed in dealing with the current agitations for secession.
