Alaafin of Oyo declares his stand on Yoruba Nation

The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III has stated that he will never support Nigeria’s breakup. This was revealed by the famed Oba, who is also one of the most powerful traditional monarchs while speaking about those agitating for various Republicans.

More so, Oba Lamidi stated that he will always be proud of Nigeria, in good times and bad, and that Nigeria must remain united till death. He emphasized the value and necessity of unity over division and individualism.

You will recall that for many years agitators, East and the recent West have been clamouring for the Igbo nation (Biafra) and the Yoruba Republic (Oodua) respectively.

This in recent times, has been championed by Sunday Igboho and that if Biafra been championed by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. However, Oba Lamidi, who is revered as a father figure and role model by many Yorubas and Nigerians both at home and abroad, in the spirit of patriotism, urged all Nigerians to maintain modesty and live as one nation.

Only then, he added, can there be harmonic and peaceful coexistence in all of the country’s regions.

Also, Oba Lamidi urged all concerned Nigerians to remain loyal, embrace unity, and reject any calls for the country’s dissolution. It’s worth noting that Nigeria has long been known for its positivism and hospitality amongst its people. As a result, voices that echo for division should not be given a hearing ear.

According to the information gathered, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III was quoted to have said “Nigerians must embrace unity and shun any calls for disintegration.”
