A South West group, Yoruba Liberation Command, YOLICOM, has called on the Federal Government to declare Biafra and Oduduwa independent nations instead of yielding to the call for restructuring. Speaking in Lagos, spokesperson of the group, Opeoluwa Akinola, said it was time for the Yoruba nation to exit Nigeria which is “dominated by the Fulani north.” Akinola maintained that Nigeria will never be genuinely restructured by the present crop of political leaders. The group also said it is in support of Nnamdi Kanu’s pursuit for restoration of Biafra. According to Akinola, “We totally reject the idea of restructuring as proposed. It is an attempt to restructure Nigeria on their own terms and not on the terms of the people. Nigeria will never be genuinely restructured by the present crop of political leaders who are themselves beneficiaries of the same skewed system. “Even if the country will be restructured, it will pass through the National Assembly, which was created during the era of military rule of the Fulani to ensure an upper hand for the Fulani North. The National Assembly is an organ of the Fulani and their agents, so also is the Nigerian military, which has continuously been used to repress, intimidate and humiliate Nigerians.
