THE Yoruba Global Alliance Group and their allies, the Yoruba Global Congress have condoled the peaceful people of Owo and the Ondo state government and also declared a 7-day mourning period for the departed Yoruba nation compatriots.
In a statement signed by Amos Arogundade Akingba, National President, Yoruba Global Alliance, Worldwide and Tola Adeniyi, Chairman of Council, Yoruba Global Alliance, the group condemned the attack at Owo, saying that the unprovoked, murderous assault on innocent worshippers at St. Francis Catholic Church by suspected Fulani terrorists in which over 50 lives were gruesomely massacred was certainly off limit.
They also blamed the President for the degeneracy of the country’s security architecture, which has made incessant killings of innocent peoples all over Nigeria a common and frequent occurrence.
They linked the killing as an after effect of the anguish of Buhari’s invitation, publicly announced in Cairo on December 11, 2019, to all Fulani in West Africa to emigrate, albeit, an incursion into Nigeria.
They also described the invitation as totally irresponsible, dangerous and reckless, pointing out that the announcement was made at a time when Buhari had shut down all Nigerian land borders to its neighbouring West African states since August of that year.
The group stated that the systematic murders done all over the land will not stop unless and until the politicians elected by the people are courageous enough to challenge the Commander-in-Chief of Nigeria’s Armed Forces and pointedly put it to his face that the buck stops at his desk.
The group calls on traditional leaders of different tribes to immediately summon top government political/military functionaries, including the President as well as past Heads of State to a roundtable and resolve the insecurity menace in the country before Nigeria descends into irreversible dungeon.
“The Yoruba Global Alliance strongly condemns the so-called political parties and their members for holding rallies and conventions while the country is boiling and the people, they are pretending to serve, are being routinely slaughtered.
“Certainly, this is not the time for election jamboree, or preparing for the Population Census or the mirage of restructuring or dubious Constitution Amendment,” the statement added.
