Yoruba Nation: Adeleke Tightens Security Around Osun Government House, Other Government Property

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has ordered that pre-emptive security measures should be tightened around government structures to forestall any attempt to takeover power by suspected Yoruba nation agitators.

He also directed his Special Adviser on Security Matters, Samuel Ojo to ensure immediate mobilization of joint security teams to secure government properties
including the Headquarters of the Osun State Broadcasting Corporation (OSBC).

A statement sent to ARISE News on Monday in Abuja by the Spokesperson to the Governor, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, said security operatives have been deployed to flashpoints to ensure that the Oyo State incident is not repeated at Osogbo, the Osun State Capital.

While issuing the directive, the Governor called for rededication to the ideals of a united Nigeria with ongoing constitutional amendments to ensure a truly federal system in Nigeria.

He called on Yoruba Nation agitators to join the crusade for the reform of the federal system to ensure adjustments that give the states more autonomy and responsibilities.

According to the Governor, Nigerian problems can only be resolved by dialogue within the constitutional framework, citing ongoing constitutional amendments that are restoring more powers to the states.

He cited the movement of railways and electricity from exclusive to concurrent legislative list, noting that even the United States of America is still reforming her federal system.

“I associate with my brother, the Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde. I urge the agitators to sheath their swords. We must continue to try to realize the Nigeria of our dreams.

“We must support President Tinubu as he drives the federal reform efforts. We have a duty to stand by Mr President in the realization of this difficult national assignment”, Governor Adeleke was quoted by Rasheed as saying.
