THE Governor of Ekiti State has warned against the attempt by any part of Nigeria to secede but urged the Federal to be fair to all as the only way to douse the tension raging like wildfire in the country.
He disclosed this while speaking on sensitive national issues in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital.

He said: “I agree that that secession is not desirable, but there must be justice and equity. When people are being killed or vilified, you must expect a reaction.
“No region should use power to oppress another. If Nigeria were truly one, it would not get to a stage where one region will openly call on another to leave its land.”
He called on the Federal Government to cast pride overboard and dialogue with Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra instead of trying to muzzle him and his group which, he said, will not yield any fruitful dividend in the end.
On the federal revenue sharing formula, he called for an urgent review

He said: “the revenue sharing formula because it is not a true reflection of our collective interest. For the country to move forward the states should take over economically.”
The Ekiti Governor condemn in its entirety the eviction order to the Igbos to quit the north on before October 1 , 2017.
“As much as secession is not an option, the handlers of our democracy must be equitable, fair and just to everyone. The Igbo have continued to suffer because of the perceived role of the late Chukwuemeka Ojukwu. If we say that past governments didn’t do well, what has the present government done differently?
“Acting President Yemi Osinbajo is doing his best, but that is not enough. We must remember that those who make positive change impossible make violent change inevitable. It is not fair that a section would suffer forever because of its role in the civil war,” he said.
