Fani-Kayode’s call was contained in his speech at the Yoruba Summit on restructuring and Nigeria’s future held in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The summit had in attendance several politicians and professionals of Yoruba extraction including traditional rulers.
“If we cannot have regional restructuring, let us prepare ourselves for Oduduwa Republic. That is the thinking of the majority of our people but as a first step, let us demand restructuring.
“We appeal to the Federal Government, all political leaders and all parties, let us restructure this country and devolve powers to the regions. Give us the power to live our lives.
“Nobody can suppress the Yoruba people, nobody stops us; we are the sons of Oduduwa and we shall go forth,” the ex-minister said at the convocation.
