The campaign will not be by money bags but by the masses, from home to home, street to street and valleys to mountains. Our people will speak with one voice this time\u201d the groups said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe shall ensure this does not happen. The Yoruba people must decide their presidential candidate and work genuinely for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wish to see the national question resolved immediately before the next election, but given the balance of strength, the presidential election may still hold without the country addressing the critical issue of self-determination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf this happens, Yorubaland will rise up to mobilise for any candidate that genuinely wants to restructure Nigeria in the first six months of the post-Mohammed Buhari era.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are meeting with other nationalities across Nigeria and the human rights community. We do not want the next election to be determined by the oppressors, but by the oppressed, not by the slave owners but by the enslaved with a new defiant spirit of resistance against an unjust system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The groups alleged that the Yoruba have been taken for granted by the political elite \u201cwho usually rely on money not ideas\u201d and that \u201dpolitical leaders have emerged with absolute contempt for the people making it difficult for them to address the fears and aspirations of the people\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have studied what happened in Latin America and in Europe lately. The people rose up and voted according to their conscience. They voted for their true representative. This seldom happens in Nigeria but in 2023, there will be a radical change. The people will speak and the world will hear them loud and clear. If a popular election is annulled or the candidate delisted, the resistance will be more than June 12,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have resolved to ensure only one credible Yoruba candidate emerges, a decent person that we can hold to his or her words, a responsible family man who fears God and respects the people, a candidate that is of high moral standing who is genuinely committed to resolving the knotty national question.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some representatives of the coalition include Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Oodua Nationalist Coalition (ONAC), Agbekoya, South West Students Coalition (SWSC), Oodua Muslim-Christian Youth Dialogue (OMCYD), Oodua Liberation Movement (OLM), Apapo Oodua Koya (AOKOYA), Oodua Self Determination Alliance, (OSDA), Itsekiri Salvation Front (ISF), Network of South West Vigilante, (NSWV), Oodua Hunters Union, (OHUN).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A coalition of 57 Yoruba groups has promised to ensure that the 2023 presidential election produces a candidate that will restructure the country and resolve &#8220;the lingering national question&#8221;.
