President Bola Tinubu has given strong warning against violent ethnic agitation.
According to him, those who push for the balkanisation of the country violently will face the consequences.
President Tinubu said: “Those who think they can threaten the sovereignty of Nigeria will have themselves to blame.
“They have a price to pay and we are not going to relent.”
The President spoke against the backdrop of the weekend’s violent attempt to take over the seat of government in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, by some Yoruba Nation agitators.
He opened up while receiving leaders of Afenifere, the Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, led by nonagenarian Pa Reuben Fasoranti.
The President warned those who think they can undermine the country’s unity and go scot-free to perish the thought as the consequences will be grave.
He told his audience that his administration had recorded significant progress against insurgency where it exists in the country.
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the President declared that his administration would not relent in its fight against criminals.
