Chief Femi Fani-Kayode

Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, ex-Nigeria Aviation Minister and a Chieftain of the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has threatened to move a motion for the secession of the South West geopolitical zone from the Nigerian federation.

The politician issued the threat in a tweet via his verified Twitter handle on Wednesday morning.

According to Fani-Kayode, the move might become very necessary if the perceived ‘Fulanisation and Islamisation agenda’ continues in Nigeria.

Chief Fani-Kayode said such a motion by him will be consistent with the precedent set by his father, Chief Remi Fani-Kayode, who on August 2, 1958, successfully moved the motion for Nigeria’s independence from British colonial rule, Daily Post reports.

He said that the new republic that would emerge would be known as “Oduduwa”.

Fani-Kayode tweeted: “On August 2nd 1958 my father, Chief Remi Fani-Kayode, successfully moved the motion for Nigeria’s independence from British colonial rule.

“If the Fulanisation and Islamisation agenda continues I shall move the motion for Oduduwa’s independence from Nigerian colonial rule.”

According an earlier Daily Post report, Fani-Kayode is reported to be a close ally of Nnamdi Kanu, who is seeking a Biafra Republic in the South East geopolitical zone.
