Senior Elders Forum of the Yoruba Council of Elders, yesterday, said more than 90 percent of people in the South-West geo-political zone are fed up with the “concoction called Nigeria”.
The senior citizens, who spoke through the former National President of YCE, Col. Samuel Agbede (rtd) in an issued statement, noted that except for a negligible few who are eating mere “crumbs that fell from their masters’ table”, a greater percentage prefer to sit at a roundtable to renegotiate the amalgamation of Nigeria, which according to him has since expired.
The elders warned the Federal Government not to postpone the February general elections, noting that such a move could usher in chaos and anarchy in the country.
While warning against the postponement of the general election, fixed for February, they noted that postponing the election would only mean postponing the evil day, adding that somehow in the future, the country will still have to be confronted with that problem.
The YCE advised the youths not to allow themselves to be used by some people who stay in their comfort zone abroad and tell them to face bullets at home.
On the letter written by former President Olusegun Obasanjo supporting the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, the YCE urged people in the zone to dismiss it with a wave of hand, noting it has become habitual for the former president to write letters, but that Nigerians, especially the Yoruba, are wiser now to choose the person they want to lead them.
