Yoruba nation agitator, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, yesterday, in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, alleged that some anti-democratic forces were plotting to destroy civilian government in the country.
 
He said Nigerians should desist from being used to disrupt the peace of the nation. He also accused the immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari of allegedly laying ‘landmines’ for the government of President Bola Tinubu through dismal management of foreign exchange and failure to tame the menace of farmers/herders clashes and insecurity, which precipitated the current hardship being faced by the masses.
 
Igboho made the comments during a reception at his mother’s burial in Ibadan. He said: “When former President Muhammadu Buhari was mismanaging the nation’s economy and overlooking the attacks on farmers in the North and South, I raised the alarm but nobody supported my agitation. 

“The spiraling effects of such bad governance and treatment of sensitive security issues fueled by herders/farmers clash with levity by Buhari is what is happening now.
 
“Now prices of foodstuffs, items and other agro-allied products are not within the reach of the common man because the majority of our farmers have abandoned farmlands. I shouted then, but I was a lone voice in the forest. Now we are all facing the dire consequences of our seeming complacency. 
 

“We need to be very careful and not pander to the antics of anti-democratic forces planning to pull down the administration of President Bola Tinubu. It is crucial at this point in time to support measures by the Federal Government to solve these challenges, whose foundation was laid by the immediate past administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.”
 
He continued:  “I foresaw all these problems some years back. Buhari had surreptitiously laid landmines for Tinubu’s administration in order to deliberately create problems for him. The Yoruba ethnic group holds the ace in Nigeria in terms of our potential and contribution to the nation’s development. Other ethnic groups are also key to the unity and socio-economic growth of the country. 
 
“The British government forced this marriage of inconvenience called Nigeria on us. But we are calling on President Tinubu to allow restructuring of Nigeria if we all want to continue as a nation. We urgently need restructuring and true federalism to ensure peace and harmonious co-existence in Nigeria as a nation. 
 
“I cannot criticise Tinubu because I don’t have anything against him. He is the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It wasn’t Tinubu that ordered the Department of State Security (DSS) to invade my house on July 1, 2021, killing my uncle and my friend. They also went away with their corpses and refused to release their remains up till now.”
