The
recent call by yoruba leaders, agitating for an autonomous region is not new in
the several calls in the pastl, but later gain momentum when the south west
representatives in the ongoing national conference insist that the incessant
unrest and killings in the northern east region would best be described as
anarchy in disguise and the only option left for the region is a call for
secession, where each region will control both natural and human
resources within its domain.
The
request was yesterday given a credible backing, when the governor of Lagos
State, Chief Babatunde Fashola SAN. made
a public support of the move at a public forum who said, the position of the
country would better be placed in the unique and well defined regional
autonomy.
He
outlined the importance of an autonomous region, where the likes of insurgency
would be easily nipped in the board and other social vices would also be
reduced.
This
and many more are the recent calls for secession, but only time would tell, if
the about to be rounded up national conference would come up with a unique recommendation
that can put an end to this ethnic bigotry.
