A letter by Professor Banji Akintoye, Yoruba leader addressed to President Muhammadu Buhari has caused division among the Yoruba leaders.
Akintoye, who wrote on behalf of the Yoruba Self-Determined Movement, YSDM, told Buhari that the South-West wanted a “peaceful break away” of the Yoruba nation from Nigeria.
He insisted that a lot of Yorubas wanted to leave Nigeria due to the economic hardship plaguing the country.
However, the letter has created a rift amongst the Yoruba leaders, the disagreement is between those who are in support of the Akintoye group’s move and those against it.
