Yoruba Global Alliance also accused Obasanjo’s government of accommodating Islamic fundamentalists
By Mosopefoluwa Michaels
A group of Yoruba leaders known as Yoruba Global Alliance has asked Students, Traders, and Youths Corps of Yoruba extraction currently in the Northern part of Nigeria to leave and return to the South-West before they get killed.
In a statement released by the foremost Yoruba Self-Determination Organization, the group recalled with dismay how the Buhari government had given the world an impression that terrorists in Nigeria were untouchable and sacred.
The statement reads, “Long before now, the Caliphate region of Nigeria declared surreptitious Secession by removing itself from the Constitution of the land and created a country of their own governed by Sharia, a strict fundamentalist Islamic theological doctrine.
“This was during Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration when his government displayed treasonous accommodation of a hydra-headed snake.
“The entire leadership of the country’s Security, Intelligence and Armed Forces were handpicked by General Muhammadu Buhari, on the assumption of office as President, in utter disregard for the country’s Federal Character clause entrenched in the wobbly Constitution.
“And since then the country has been under the excruciating woes of the worst form of terrorism, banditry, ritual and religious killings, kidnapping-for-ransom, and allied vices while the country’s Security apparatus looked the other way.
“A foremost military top-brass Lt. General Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma (former Chief of Army Staff, former Minister of Defence, etc ) was so seriously piqued that he had to warn the citizenry not to depend on the Nigerian Military for their safety and security.
“In fact, he called on Nigerians to defend themselves.

“A leading member of the Caliphate who is also the Governor of turbulent Kaduna State, Alhaji El-Rufai once boasted that Nigeria was two countries in one in obvious admission that Nigeria was governed by two distinct and contradictory civilizations.
“This assertion could not have been better illustrated by the archaic and animalistic gruesome murder of an innocent young lady, Deborah Samuel Yakubu stoned to death and set ablaze for an alleged religious opinion.
“What on earth, in this age and time, could make any group of ‘students’ set ablaze another student for merely expressing an opinion?
“This barbaric frenzy has now spread to other parts of the El-Rufai’s “other country” of the two proclaimed countries in Nigeria and may soon engulf the second half ruled by another civilization.
“It has happened before, it has infact happened several times, including the precursor of the pogroms in Kano, Kafanchan, and Maiduguri, graduating in the massacre of 1967-70, deceptively called Civil War.
“To be forewarned is to be forearmed, hence, we at the *Yoruba Global Alliance* and *Yoruba Global Congress* along with our other allies worldwide call on all sons and daughters of the Yoruba nation to leave the self-declared second country in Nigeria and return to the Yoruba country.
“This is a defining moment in the history of Yoruba nation and we say it with all sense of responsibility that our children’s lives, as well as our Investments and properties, are no longer safe in the Sharia-North country of Nigeria.”
