Head Of The Board Of Directors and former Presidential candidate Sani Yabagi has proofed that most of the Southern governors are behaving rebelliously just like Sunday Igboho of Yoruba.
Sani Yabagi took to the media that southern state leaders are behaving like agitators, Sunday Igboho and Nnamdi Kanu in their gang up against President Muhammadu Buhari and the entire north. Igboho and Kanu are the respective leaders of agitations for Oduduwa and Biafra Republics’.
Kanu has been remanded in custody after being repatriated back to Nigeria for continuation of his trial, while Igboho has been declared wanted after a raid on his home last Thursday by State Security Service agents who killed two persons in the process. Southern governors, in a communiqué signed by Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State and Chairman, Southern Governors’ Forum, rejected the revenue sharing formula contained in the recently passed Petroleum Industry Bill, insisted on ban on open grazing and electronic transmission of election results and that southern region must produce the next president in 2023.
But Yabagi who spoke in a Channels TV interview on Monday, said the meeting of southern governors is a gang up against Northern Nigeria, adding that the governors are not different from agitators calling for the balkanisation of Nigeria. “All the things listed in that communique from their meeting seems to be a kind of ganging up against the North”. “When you look at the grazing issue, insecurity, the issue of politics of 2023, how can we have elected officials, governors for that matter, coming in this manner to emphasise things that divides us? Not talking about things that unites the country beats my imagination.”
“It is unfortunate that we don’t have governors today coming together on issues of principle. These governors are not anything better than Igboho or Kanu or any person’s not elected to protect the nation.
