NATIONAL: Defend your land against herders or remain subjugated for life, Kanu tells Yoruba youth

THE leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has told Yoruba youth to protect their land and lives from attacks by Fulani irredentists masquerading as herdsmen.

Kanu warned youth from the southwest that leaving the security of their lives and properties in the hands of their governors is foolhardy as they would not protect them noting that the experiences of those in Southeast and South south should suffice for the Yoruba youth.

In a statement by the group’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, Mazi Kanu reminded the Yoruba youth that southwest governors did nothing when killer herdsmen kidnapped and killed a Yoruba leader, Pa Fasoranti’s daughter on Yoruba soil.

He stressed that Governor Akeredolu of Ondo is fighting a losing battle as he cannot sustain the tempo of his agitation against herders in the state’s foreign reserves.

His statement read in part, “Somehow I knew he didn’t have the balls to withstand their Caliphate masters. His resistance didn’t last long, did it?

“Like his Eastern counterparts, he has capitulated. Which one is Herdsmen Permit? Do you mean you have government licensed terrorists operating in Yoruba forests?

“No wonder Pa Fasoranti’s daughter was murdered on Yoruba soil by these licensed killers in Yorubaland and the South West Governors did nothing.

“Everybody knows Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders in Nigeria are the dreaded killer bandits and terrorists, raping, kidnapping, and pillaging our indigenous communities.

“Only God knows what they have promised this governor or perhaps the media heat from the caliphate is too much for him to bear.

“My Yoruba folks, especially the youths, please learn something from Eastern Security Network, ESN, defend your land and forests yourselves with your lives. If you surrender your future to these unstable politicians, your children and those unborn will be slaves forever.

“If in doubt look at what became of the once-great Hausa race. Today Fulani oligarchs have reduced them to nothing, absolutely nothing. A once proud, tolerant, loving, and technologically advanced race like the Hausa is now a shadow of its self because they made the same mistakes Yoruba youths are about to make today.

“Sokoto was once a thriving Hausa city called Gobir, until Fulanis from Sene-Gambia asked and were given permission to graze their cattle in their bushes. Before they realised what was happening their land was taken over and renamed before their eyes. Yoruba wake up and stand your ground. If you compromise now, you are finished.”
