Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams has once again stated that he could help in tackling insecurity in the South-West if he got the support of governors in the region. He said the problem of insecurity in the region would be addressed within six months if the governors could partner with him.
Iba Gani Abiodun Ige Adams spoke Arigidi Akoko, Ondo state, at the 2024 edition of Okota Festival.
He stated that addressing the structural imbalances of the Nigerian nation has become important, especially, now that more regions are agitating for self-determination.
Stressing the need for regionalism as the best option for Nigeria and Nigerians, Iba Gani Adams said the 1999 constitution was the greatest undoing of the Nigerian nation, noting also that the constitution was the making of the military and was largely embellished with fraught processes and contents.
“By virtue of my position as the Aare Onakakanfo of Yoruba land, I can partner with the governors of the South West region to reenact what the old Aare Onakakanfos did, which is to defend the people of Yorubaland.

“I have made this clear severally in my statements and letters that we want to partner with the governors to unravel the security scourge in the South West. And I assure you that if they would partner with us to fight insecurity, we would see a huge difference within six months.
Monarch of the town, Oba Yisa Abu Olanipekun, praised Iba Gani Adams for using the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) platform to promote the cultural identity of Yoruba land.
Oba Olanipekun said the OPC under the leadership of Iba Gani Adams has been consistent in promoting the culture and tradition of the people of Arigidi town for the past 16 years, adding that the town has also made significant progress by celebrating the festival.
