The national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said that the Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho and others agitating for the break-up of Nigeria are doing so wrongly.
He emphasised that unity is key and that the Yoruba and Fulani are one and have to live together.
Speaking at the 12th colloquium to mark his 69th birthday in Kano, the former governor of Lagos said he chose Kano for the colloquium to demonstrate to Nigerians at this critical period that they must remain as one.
“Why are we in Kano? It is to demonstrate to Nigerians at this critical time. It is because there is a Fulani man, a herder man who gave his daughter to a farmer, Yoruba man. And that Fulani, that Yoruba, and some people are agitating wrongly,” he said.
Tinubu said “If we can encourage support to go and spend a couple of days with my brother, an in-law in Kano and demonstrate that he has not quarrelled with me, he has not seceded from Nigeria, I didn’t need a passport or visa to get to Kano, maybe others will have peace of conscience, live in peace and harmony and be loving to one another.
“That is what Ganduje and I are showing to Nigerians and that is the purpose of this colloquium end of the story.”
Tinubu said everyone should thank Ganduje for what the two of them had been able to show Nigerians together.
“That a Fulani man and a Yoruba man can show the entire nation that in harmony, we can show Nigerians that perseverance creates understanding. It is a common blood that flows through our veins,” he said.
Tinubu is only playing his own politics of Presidency. Soon the Fulani’s will show him they don’t joke with power, but they only need to use him as a tool for their achievement. The Yoruba Nation is a must… Nigeria country is only working for politician and not for the businessman or private man which are 80% of the population. Tinubu is only being selfish because of his own ambition.
