Former Nigerian Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode has threatened to move a motion for the secession of the South West geopolitical zone from the Nigerian federation.
He disclosed this in a tweet via his verified Twitter page on Wednesday morning,.
According to him, the move might become necessary if the perceived ‘Fulanisation and Islamisation agenda’ continues in Nigeria.
Fani-Kayode said such a motion by him will be consistent with the precedent set by his father, Chief Remi Fani-Kayode, who on August 2, 1958, successfully moved the motion for Nigeria’s independence from British colonial rule.
He said that the new republic that would emerge would be known as “Oduduwa Republic”.
The former Minister tweeted: “On August 2nd 1958 my father, Chief Remi Fani-Kayode, successfully moved the motion for Nigeria’s independence from British colonial rule.
“If the Fulanisation and Islamisation agenda continues I shall move the motion for Oduduwa’s independence from Nigerian colonial rule.”
Should Fani-Kayode move such motion, it will encourage the people of Niger Delta to do the same and that will mean that the entire southern Nigeria are leaving the Nigerian federation with IPOB and MASSOB having been agitating for secession for sometime now.
