The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, has warned that Nigeria might break up in the next two years.
The Odua People’s Congress, OPC, leader Adams made this know while speaking at the Okota celebration in his hometown of Arigidi-Akoko, in Ondo State’s Akoko North-West Local Government Area.
He stated that going by the plethora of crises in the country, Nigeria might cease to exist.
According to Gani Adams, restructuring was the only way to save the nation from disintegration.
He said the Muhammadu Buhari-led government had exhibited a lack of coordination despite the insecurity situation, the economic downturn, and deteriorated institutions, among other things.
Gani Adams noted that Nigeria’s problems would only get worse due to the drive to adapt Nigeria to a unitary system of government.
He said: “With the insecurity issues in Nigeria, there is nothing that can be done if we do not have federalism. If we do not allow federalism on the basis of regionalism, I’m afraid within two years, this country will break.
“You can see how the wave is coming. Not only wave of insecurity, even the economy, depreciating of institution, lack of coercion in governance. Definitely, there is danger ahead if the Nigerian government did not act fast to restructure Nigeria to regionalism.”
