He noted that the agitators should have faced issue of securing Yoruba land against the bandits and they would have been supported.
“I believe in one Nigeria, I do not believe or support secession, we might likely suffer thereafter because we have some forms of division within. If these so called individuals have continued with the securing Yoruba against bandits, they might have gotten supports”
