Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu says the leader of Ilana Omo Oodua, Professor Banji Akintoye and other Yoruba Nation agitators are impostors.
Akeredolu was reacting to a statement by the Ilana Omo Oodua which berated him for rejecting the creation of the Yoruba Nation.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by one of his aides, Akeredolu said: “it is presumptuous, denigrating and condescendingly spiteful for a group of hustlers, living largely in anonymity but struggling for relevance, to keep proclaiming and legislating on issues which affect the destiny of a whole people, without the faintest suggestion of paying even scant regard to their feelings or extending due courtesy to the real representatives of the people whose opinions they discount as unimportant.

”The people are discerning. They know the impostors. They have not forgotten the activities of the suborned agitators, the presumed penitent activists. The Ondo people, and indeed Yoruba are the easiest to lead but the most difficult to deceive. With them sophistry and demagoguery have their limits.”
