The apex Yoruba youth group, Yoruba Youth Council (YYC) worldwide has disclosed that youths in South-West will not support any process of the federal government aside from restructuring of the country. While reacting to President Muhammadu Buhari’s new year message, the National President, Yoruba Youth Council (YYC),worldwide, Comrade Eric Oluwole, said “the address of Mr President does not, in any way, reflect the mood of Nigerians who daily clamour for restructuring of the country”.
The statement, made available to journalists by the Oyo State director of media and publicity of YYC, Lekan Shobo Shobowale, on behalf of the National President of the council, stated that it was taken aback by the presidential address.
According to the statement “Yoruba youths worldwide are in support of restructuring of Nigeria as only this can bring solutions to all challenges confroting the nation.” The group in the reaction said “so many crisis erupting daily across the country can be attributed to failure of Nigerian leaders to sincerely discuss with people on what they want.”
Yoruba Youth Council said the group still stands with the recommendations of its December Yoruba YouthTown Hall Meeting in Ibadan on the need to restructure Nigeria.
The statement added that the group will oppose any government that will not support the re-organisation of Nigeria in 2019.
