Read The Hate Speech Afenifere Renewal Group Uttered About The Igbos

 

 

The Afenifere Renewal Group, a Yoruba socio-political group, has called on South West governors and Obas to de-recognise Eze Ndi Igbos in Yorubaland. 

The group in a statement on Friday, said the title of Eze Ndigbo in Yorubaland is not backed by any customary law and is therefore considered alien. 

This is coming days after a reported bickering between Aladelusi Aladetoyinbo, the Deji of Akure, and Gregory Iloehike, Eze Ndigbo in Akure, following claims of a plan by the former to dethrone the latter.

The group added that the practice of having Igbo kings in Yoruba lands has continued to stretch the tolerant nature of Yoruba people to the limit. 

It stated that the practice is something that Yoruba people living away from Yorubaland do not even think of, therefore, it sees no reason why "migrants" living in Yorubaland should not know their boundaries.
