  “Quit Yorubaland Ultimatum: not Afenifere initiative”

“our attention has been drawn to a whatsappd video now going viral, purportedly issued by one Adeyinka Grandson or his representative, giving a 48-hour ultimatum ending on Sunday 25th October, 2020, for some Nigerian nationals, especially the Igbos to quit Yorubaland.

“Most embarrassing to me as the Afenifere leader was that the young man who made the announcement kicked off with the well known theme of Afenifere anthem, thus giving the impression that his was an Afenifere initiative

“This is to say that we do not know anything about the quit order nor are we in any way connected with its issuance or the initiators.

“For the time being, in addition to other releases, let us all maintain peace.”
