The unity in Yoruba land has been described as sacrosanct and no politician no matter how highly placed should toy with it as such an attempt will be resisted vehemently.
The call was made in Akure, Ondo State by the Coalition of Oodua Self-determination Groups (COSEG) at the end of its Coordinating Council meeting in a statement signed by its Chairman, Comrade Ifedayo Ogunlana, and Secretary, Rasaq Olokoba,stressing that the forthcoming governorship election in Ondo State is about the unity of the race in the face of the infiltration of the region by the Hausa Fulani cabal.
According to the COSEG, “Yoruba people, especially politicians, should come together and be united in resisting and rejecting the people that the region supported massively in the last presidential election, but who surprisingly are working towards disunity in our land.
“This is not the time to apportion blame, but the time to call on all to come together and reject the influence and interest of the feudal lords who are acting god, forgetting that former President Jonathan and his Ijaw kinsmen played same and were thoroughly dealt with.”
The group also appealed to all Yoruba people to use the Ondo election as a test case for the noble resistance and replicate the Osun 2014 election in Ondo on November 26.
“We hereby call on all Yoruba to let us use Ondo as a test case for this noble resistance and reject their candidate as expressed during the 2014 governorship election in Osun , while the intimidation and harassment did not prevent our people from casting their votes for the candidate of their choice.
“So in order to halt the planned humiliation of our race by the cabal, our people in Ondo should move and support Chief Olusola Oke of the Alliance for Democracy (AD)who is the new face of the movement in Ondo State. The unity of the race is a clarion call,” COSEG said.
