The coalition, Yoruba Self-Determination Advancement Forum, has stated that the Yoruba will break away from Nigeria if the country was not restructured.
The coalition comprises more than 60 Yoruba self-determination platforms.
Addressing the media on Tuesday, the coalition said it was open to negotiation with former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar; former Central Bank of Nigeria Deputy Governor Kingsley Moghalu or any other presidential candidate who has strong commitment to restructure Nigeria.
In a statement jointly signed by its Convener, Evangelist ‘Kunle Adesokan, and Secretary, Kola Are, the coalition accused the ruling All Progressives Congress of reneging on its promise to restructure the country.
It said the APC, “instead of restructuring, expansionist agenda, under the guise of cattle business with land-grabbing as the ultimate goal, has torpedoed the fragile unity of the country more than ever before.”
