Nigeria Now Ungovernable, Says Afenifere

The Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, has raised the alarm that the country has become ungovernable and therefore on the brink of collapse.

The group raised the alarm yesterday at its monthly meeting held at the country home of its national leader Pa Reuben Fasoranti in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

It kicked against “the constructing a rail line and about N30billion highway to connect with Fulanis in the Niger Republic with whom the Fulanis running Nigeria have a cultural kinship”.

A communiqué issued and read to journalists by the groups National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Yinka Odumakin said that ” the truth is that the country had virtually become ungovernable and unless we restructure and restore Nigeria to federalism, the country is on the brink of collapse and God should save us from the worst-case scenario.

“And nobody should take this country on any childish ride; we should just implement the report of the 2014 conference now.

“As Nigeria enters the worst recession in 33 years and the second in five years of Buhari, we are equally besieged by attendant poverty, hinged as well as insecurity worsening across the land with kidnappers, armed robbers and bandits on the prowl and government helpless and unable to govern effectively”.

On the # EndSARS protest, the group said that the “meeting reviewed the recent protests by young people against police brutality under the #ENDSARS movement and its unfortunate bloody resolution by the repressive Nigerian government.
