A socio-cultural group, Yoruba for One Nigeria Forum (YONF) has called on former President Olusegun Obasanjo to clear his name over the report that he is lobbying Benin Republic to shield Sunday Adeyemo better known as Igboho from facing prosecution.<\/p>\n

This was made known by the group via a statement titled, \u2018Olusegun Obasanjo is the greatest beneficiary of Nigeria\u2019s Unity\u2019 and signed by Seun Adebayo Lawal, its national president.<\/p>\n

The group said the call became necessary in view of the significant benefits the former president and Yoruba nation<\/a> as a whole have gained from a united Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe attention of our organisation has been drawn to media reports that former President Olusegun Obasanjo has embarked on a mission in Benin Republic to shield Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Igboho, who is currently facing multiple criminal charges in the country and on DSS wanted list in Nigeria from being prosecuted. Recall that the self-styled violent agitator has been on the run following his invitation by the Department of State Services,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we hope that this unpatriotic move is not true, we expect the former President to issue a clear statement on the allegations to inform Nigerians of his position. This is important because of the imminent misconceptions his silence is generating on this matter. It is our position as a native Yoruba indigenous organisation that the alleged move by Obasanjo needs to be censored so as to set records straight for posterity and history.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nigerian history, in its present form has recorded the Yoruba nation as the greatest beneficiaries of Nigeria\u2019s unity since independence. Ironically former President Olusegun Obasanjo is a Yoruba man who has benefited the most from whatever gains Nigeria made of her unity. Obasanjo is the only Nigerian of pure Yoruba descent who has ever ruled this country under the military and civilian dispensations. What more could Nigeria have offered to him or the Yoruba nation? What dues were deserving of the Yoruba nation that Obasanjo could not make up during his time as Head of State and President? He does not need to be reminded of the role Nigeria\u2019s unity played in his rise, both as a military and civilian President thus, the least he owes this nation is to preach peace, promote and advocate for a one united and indissoluble Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Obasanjo is desirous of creating a sustainable and one united Nigeria, he should utilise his international contacts in the overall benefit of the Nigerian State and its people. Any attempt by Obasanjo or any group to scuttle legitimate efforts by the Nigerian government to ensure that Igboho faces justice would not be forgiven by patriotic Nigerians. The resistance of such moves, no matter how clandestine will be equally resisted by the Nigerian people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group added that \u201cas a Yoruba indigenous group, we will not look the other way when those who have exploited the most of Nigeria\u2019s unity turn to sabotage government peace efforts. We call on former President Olusegun Obasanjo to utilise his international privileges to champion the unity of this country. After all, he got those privileges from the benevolence of Nigeria\u2019s unity\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is perhaps too late for any individual in the echelon of former President Olusegun Obasanjo to contemplate a divided Nigeria at this moment. We must therefore make this Clarion call to all Yoruba indigenous people to show solidarity with the Nigerian government to achieve the long-desired hope of one Nigeria built on unity, peace and progress,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
