Chief Afe Babalola has blamed the military coup of January 15, 1966 for the sorry state of Yoruba nation.
He stated this at a summit in Abeokuta at the Cinema Hall within the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
He criticzed the military for what he described as supplanting the people's constitution which made provisions for regions to develop at its own pace.
According to him, the then people’s constitution also engendered healthy competition among the regions and made the Western region emerged as the clear leader.
“Unfortunately, we have been operating a military constitution since 1999, because the people of Nigeria had no input whatsoever in the constitution, which was foisted on Nigerians by the military.
“As a result of this military constitution, which gave Nigerians a unitary government in disguise, the spate of development initiated by Chief Obafemi Awolowo was unfortunately put in abeyance to the disadvantage of all of us,” Babalola said.
