I read with deep concern the unsigned and shameful document issued in the name of “Yoruba Elders Progressive Council (YEPC)” titled “Our Land, Our Identity: Lagos State Government Must Act Before We're Made Strangers at Home.”
It is unfortunate that in 2025, in a democratic Nigeria where the Constitution reigns supreme, some cowards cloaked in the name of Yoruba elders still find it acceptable to publish ethnic bile and incite division without the courage to sign their names.
As a proud Yoruba son, a senior citizen, and a disciple of the
progressive school of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, I cannot keep silent while these
masked agitators try to drag the Yoruba identity into the mud of tribal bigotry
and reckless political opportunism.
Let me now respond, point by poisonous point, to their disturbing and dangerous narrative.
