In a press conference in Kano on Friday
Seyi Olorunsola the leader of the group, has described the claim as unfortunate and capable of causing unnecessary tension in the state.
His words: “Media reports are calling on Nigeria’s president and other Yoruba leaders in the country to interfere in the issue of sacking Yusuf as state Governor to avoid any potential threat to members of the community, doing the round.”
“Let me begin by stating clearly that this group of persons led by a certain Mr. Taofeek Olaesebikan is not a Yoruba leader in Kano and does not represent any shade of the Yoruba Community in this state as represented in that report.”
“Mr. Taofeek Olaesebikan is a known member of the NNPP and the statement issued by him and his select group of persons is simply a political kite which is being flown on behalf of the NNPP to cause disaffect and crisis within the Yoruba nation in Kano and the people of Kano in general” he stated.
Olaesebikan, that the Yorubas in Kano are neither inclined to religious nor political sentiments and have been living in peace in the state. He therefore condemned the said group for wrongly instigating the populace against Yorubas residents in the state.
“It is therefore very sad that some individuals would be playing a scripted role orchestrated by their political paymasters within the NNPP to rubbish the good name of Yoruba people in this state. Their objective is to exploit ethnic sentiments to create discord thereby portraying the APC as insensitive to the needs of the people.
“This tactic is part of a broader strategy to incite violence and unrest, as indicated by recent warnings issued by the APC in the state regarding potential violent protest,” he said.
Olaesebikan urged the Yoruba Community in Kano and the entire people of the state to remain calm and go about their normal business.
