The youths, however, expressed solidarity with Edo State in its struggle against the Fulani caliphate.

In a statement issued by the Youth leaders and signed by Prophet Ayodele Ologunloluwa and Comrade Omotoyole advocated for the rights and safety of the Yoruba people, suggesting that any attack on Edo State signifies a broader conflict that affects the entire southwestern region in Nigeria

According to them, the actions taken against the Fulanis, resulting in the killing of sixteen, highlight the extreme polarization and depression felt by the people of Edo state, who are defending their communities against fulani oppression.

The youths went on: “Their stance on Edo State’s struggle against the Fulani caliphate is seen as a demonstration of their commitment to protecting the rights and interests of ethnic nationalities in southern territory

“We, the Yoruba youth leaders, condemned the attacks by Fulani herdsmen in Edo State all the Yoruba land, and we urged the federal government to take decisive action to protect the state’s citizens.

“We expressed solidarity with Edo State in its struggle against the Fulani caliphate.

“Moving forward, collaborative efforts among youth leaders, community stakeholders, and government officials will be crucial in addressing these issues comprehensively and preventing further escalation of violence in the region.

“We emphasized the need for unity and cooperation among ethnic nationalities to address common challenges and promote peace and development in southern territory.

We have been vocal advocates for Yoruba self-determination and have opposed attempts to impose Sharia law in the South-West region.

“Since all this while when Fulani has been killing our people in the southwest, what did anyone in Gorverment do or say about it ? Absolutely nothing.

“These stupid Fulani people are killing, rapping, kidnapping, destroying our people and their farms since how many years now under the Buhari Gorverment, and this so-called Tinubu now nothing was done about it.

“All the Youths in South West are battle ready for them , we don’t want Fulani in our land anymore. And to Governor Seyi Makinde, we say well done with your plan in oyo State for Sharia Law. Your eyes will soon clear and open, dont worry, you will see what yoruba is made off very soon.

The youths therefore ordered Fulani Herdsmen to vacate Yorubaland now or face a possible retaliation, adding they would no longer fold their arms and watch their people get killed and kidnapped by Fulani marauders.
