The Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, has urged those calling for the secession of Nigeria to drop the idea.
The king warned that those beating the drum of war in Nigeria are not only calling for disorder in the country but in Africa at large.
Oba Gbadebo spoke 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 was against the declaration of Yoruba nation and South-West secession from Nigeria by popular Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Igboho.
He said, “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.”
