The Afenifere group has responded to claims that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is a “Yoruba government,” stressing that it is, in fact, a Nigerian government.
The group’s Organizing Secretary, Abagun Kole Omololu, condemned a plot to sabotage the administration, which some have fueled by saying it is a Yoruba government.
According to Omololu, labeling the administration as “Yoruba” and using that as a reason for sabotage is “dishonest” and “a vile act of tribal opportunism and sedition.” He emphasized that President Tinubu’s government is a Nigerian government, elected through democratic means, not tribal inheritance.
“Nigeria is not a personal or tribal empire. Our nation will not bow to tribal blackmail. It will not bend to invented narratives. and it will not break under the weight of conspiracy,” the group stated.
Afenifere praised Dr. Sandra Duru for exposing the plot and encouraged patriots to defend truth, justice, and constitutional order. The group emphasized that President Tinubu should be allowed to serve his full term, just like former President Muhammadu Buhari was.
The group also said, “We reject it utterly. Let no one demand justice only when it suits them, but deny it when it is owed to others. President Tinubu shall serve his full term of eight years, by the will of the good people of this country and under the watch of the Constitution. To suggest otherwise is to play Russian roulette with our national destiny.”
The group’s statement ended with a call to action. They said, “Let all patriots rally to the defence of truth, justice and constitutional order. We have come too far to be dragged backward by petty ambition disguised as activism.”
