Press Release

The Concerned Omo Yoruba Worldwide, Afenifere Support Group welcomed the position of Pan-Yoruba Socio-Cultural and Political Organisation Afenifere on Wednesday 24, January 2024 for the abrogation of Acting leader role while the substantive Leader is still alive. This position eventually led to the sacking of Pa Ayo Adebanjo. Concern Omo Yoruba Worldwide back Afenifere for transferring the responsibilities and authority of advising the substantive Afenifere leader to Afenifere Elders Caucus. Concern Omo Yoruba Group is more interested about the Yoruba national interest than Individuals interest.  The Group thanks Afenifere leadership for putting the entire Yoruba national interest above individuals’ interest. In this regard, Pa Ayo Adebanjo should know, the Yoruba national interest is far greater than his own personal interest.  The Concern Omo Yoruba Group is solidly behind Afenifere Elders Caucus for their wisdoms to place Yoruba national interest above all, by taking this bold decision to reform and reposition Afenifere. The Group would like to advise Afenifere Elders Caucus to continue with good works, and always stick on wider consensus in reaching a decision and agreement for the benefit Yoruba interest. Also reminds Afenifere leadership to always put in minds; the Yoruba citizens both in Nigeria and Diaspora will be happy to see the Elders Caucus of Afenifere reaching consensus in decisions taking for the interests and benefits of the entire Yorubaland.  

Also, on National issue regarding CBN moving its supervising Department on Commercial Banks to Lagos state base on business and economy reason that will benefit the entire Country. The Concern Omo Yoruba Worldwide condemn some northern politicians who are trying to politicize this issue to look as if the President is trying to move Nigeria Capital back to Lagos State. The Concern Omo Yoruba Worldwide would like to reiterate; Abuja is the only Nigeria capital that belongs to all Nigerians, and Nigerians are free to reside anywhere in the country regardless of wherever they come from in the country.   According to the CBN, it is purely on business and economy efficiency to move the supervising Department to where 90% of commercial bank headquarters in Nigerian are based. CBN says, this decision is for the purpose of proper monitoring and supervising of all the different Commercial banks that have their majority of headquarters based in Lagos State. The Supervising Department is 0ne among the 24 departments withing the CBN.

On insecurity rampaging across the country, the Concern Omo Yoruba Worldwide reminded both the Federal Government and Subnational Govt about their basic and purpose of govt in accordance to ‘’Nigeria Constitution Section 14(2) (b) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 declares that the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government. In this declaration, the security and welfare of the people are conjunctively presented as a sole purpose’’. Concern Omo Yoruba Worldwide urge the federal to go after those sponsoring insecurity across the country, name and prosecute them by the law. The Group also advised the Federal govt to quickly begin the reformations promised to Nigerians especially on State or Regional policing. The recent killing of two Yoruba Kings from Ekiti State is unacceptable by the Group.  Concern Omo Yoruba called on the Southwest Governors to take security challenge across the region very serious, encourage the governors to continue funding Amotekun and work with key stakeholders like OPC and Abgekoya to complement security across the region.

  The Concerned Omo Yoruba Worldwide joins millions of Oodua descendants across the globe in condemning the recent actions and statements of the Alaafin of Oyo, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Hakeem Owoade, directed against the Arole Oodua, His Imperial Majesty, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojájá II, CFR. , L.L.D. We received with shock the press release purportedly issued by the Alaafin, wherein he openly challenged the authority of the Ooni to confer the chieftaincy title of Okanlomo Oodua on Engineer Dotun Sanusi, a highly respected Ibadan son and entrepreneur of note. The outcry from the Alaafin’s palace over this conferment is both unnecessary and unwarranted. Even more troubling is the unprecedented 48-hour ultimatum allegedly issued to the Ooni ;  an action we regard as a blatant display of disrespect, bereft of the decency, wisdom, and diplomacy expected of royalty. It is important to emphasize that the Ooni of Ife is not only the custodian of the sacred Od...
