Fulani Jihadists have infiltrated South West, waiting for order to attack, create havoc – Fani-Kayode

 

Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation Minister, has alleged that Fulani Jihadists and herdsmen have infiltrated the South West.

The former Minister alleged that the arsonists infiltrated the region with the aim of attacking its people when given the order.

In a tweet, the former Minister claimed they intended attacking the South West, while the people of the region were busy engaging in internal squabble.

He wrote: “As the South West continues to engage in its petty internal rivalries and endless squabbles the Fulani jihadists, in the guise of cattle rearers and herdsmen, have successfully infiltrated their land.

“These deadly sleeper cells are ready to strike and create havoc when ordered to do so.”

Just few days ago, a pan Yoruba socio-cultural group, Yoruba Koya Leadership and Training Foundation had raised alarm over alleged taking over of states in the South West region by people suspected to be herdsmen.

The group called on the governors to rise above partisan interest and take actions aimed towards safeguarding their people against internal and external aggressions, stressing that posterity and history would never forgive any of them who, for the sake of party politics, stare helplessly while their land is annexed.

This group had said, “We say with all sense of responsibility and without any fear or intimidation devoid of sensationalism that the entire Yoruba Land has been encircled by external criminals masquerading as Herdsmen. Empirical Intelligence available to us has it that these criminals who are mainly from Kebbi, Katsina, Kano, Sokoto and some West African Countries, are being dropped daily in Yoruba Land by Heavy Duty Trucks.”

Obasanjo Is Anti-Yoruba - Afenifere Chieftain, Ayo Adebanjo

Ayo Adebanjo, chieftain of Afenifere, has insisted that former president, Olusegun Obasanjo was anti-Yoruba.

Adebanjo stated this while accusing the former president of humiliating the late nationalist, Obafemi Awolowo.

He said Obasanjo humiliated Awolowo when the latter visited Obasanjo after he became the military Head of State, following the assassination of Maj. Gen. Murtala Mohammed on February 13, 1976,

Adebanjo spoke during the presentation of his autobiography in Lagos, yesterday.

According to Adebanjo, “There are many incidents to show that Obasanjo is anti-Yoruba. He has no interest in, or sympathy for the Yoruba cause, he only has his own interest for everything he does. That is my conclusion, and I have copious evidence to prove it.”

The Afenifere chieftain also blamed the former president for the collapse of the Alliance for Democracy, AD.

He claimed that Obasanjo collapsed AD by appointing the late presidential aspirant, Bola Ige against the wish of the party.

“As far as I am concerned, the moment Bola Ige joined Obasanjo’s government, following his (Bola Ige) loss of AD’s presidential primaries where he polled six votes against Chief Olu Falae’s 17, marked the beginning of the end of the party. In my opinion, these are the scenarios which led to the collapse of the AD,” Adebanjo said.

Ambode Orders Pupils To Sing National Anthem In Yoruba Daily

Lagos governor Akinwunmi Ambode on Tuesday ordered public and private school principals in the state that students should sing the National Anthem in Yoruba Language daily.

Deputy Governor, Dr Idiat Adebule, relayed the directive at a meeting with Principals and Head Teachers of public schools in Lagos.

She said that Yoruba Language would also be made a compulsory subject for students.

Adebule said that Wednesdays had been declared ‘Yoruba Speaking Day’ in schools, with all teaching and learning activities from assembly period to closing being done in Yoruba.

”Governor Ambode wants me to pass this message to you, that henceforth, Yoruba language be made compulsory in both private and public schools.

”The National Anthem must be sung in Yoruba on a daily basis too.

“The Egbe Akomolede has done the translation and we will send the copies of the Yoruba version to your schools by Monday so you can begin to teach the students.

”I have also met with the owners of private schools and we have relayed this directive to them.

”We are also considering translating the textbooks of other subjects into Yoruba Language because I believe that when students are taught in their mother language, learning will be easy and their level of performance will improve.

”The state government is passionate about this Law, so we do not lose our language, culture and heritage,” she said.

Adebule said the Ministry of Education was doing an assessment to ascertain the number of Yoruba teachers that would be required to effectively teach the language in public schools.

She appealed to the school managers to cooperate with the government to drive and ensure the effective implementation of the Yoruba Language Preservation and Promotion Law.

Lanre Ogunyemi, Chairman, Lagos State House of Assembly Committee on Education, said the development would be beneficial to the younger generation and generations unborn.

”In Finland, you must pass the Finnish Language before you are offered admission into high institutions. Same is done in Germany, China and other developed countries.

”We need to adopt such to drive development and foster national unity. I beg you all to key into this law and make it work, ” Ogunyemi said.
