President Bola Tinubu, has promised harsh consequences for persons who pit themselves against Nigeria’s sovereignty and security.

He stated this when he received the Yoruba socio-political delegation led by Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, Oba Olu Falae, and other eminent citizens, at the State House in Abuja on Wednesday.

The President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, revealed the details of the visit in a statement titled, ‘President Tinubu receives leaders of Afenifere, says the administration is resolute in achieving economic security in a fair and equitable system for all Nigerians.’

The declaration by Tinubu came days after Yoruba Nation agitators, dressed in military camouflage and armed with guns, stormed the Oyo State Government Secretariat, attempting to hoist the Yoruba Nation flag on the premises of the Oyo State House of Assembly.

The Yoruba Nation promoters are seeking the breakaway of the Yoruba people from the Federal Republic of Nigeria, contending that the interest of the Yoruba people had not been adequately protected in Nigeria.

But Tinubu speaking on Wednesday, vowed to keep Nigeria as one, stressing that harsh punishment would be melted on any one belt on disuniting the country.

The President said his administration was re-engineering Nigeria’s finances and seeking to boost citizens’ purchasing power and spread prosperity by instituting a credit system where the element of cash does not impede a significantly enhanced standard of living for all citizens.

Earlier in his remarks, Oba Olu Falae commended the President for his courageous decisions, the rehabilitation of the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos, and other critical ongoing projects and urged the President not to relent in ensuring fairness and equity for all Nigerians.

The Afenifere Chief also promised firm support for the President, as long as he remains faithful to the principles of fairness and equity.
