Barrister Oladotun Hassan, the president general of the Yoruba Council Worldwide, in an exclusive interview with TimesNow.com.ng, called out the federal lawmaker to immediately withdraw the proposal and urged the House to outrightly reject it.
Though the bill promotes a progressive move for the country’s national unity, it poses a major threat to Nigeria’s federal structure, peace and inter-ethnic co-existence. Hassan explained how the bill reopened past ideological wounds, citing the “Lagos is a no man’s land” belief. He also explained that it threatened ancestral sovereignty and could ignite political and ethnic conflict under the guise of inclusion.
