“The violent approach adopted by the members of the various ethnic, political and religious groups whose actions are threatening the unity and territorial integrity of Nigeria is hereby condemned.

“Any ethnic group or persons that have complaints or grievances should channel such complaints or grievances through their elected representatives at the Federal or state levels.

“All ethnic, political and religious groups, herdsmen, farmers, aggrieved ethnic groups and agitators are urged to stop all hostilities and any act that is capable of triggering crisis.”

With a contrary opinion, the Ondo State Speaker, Bamidele Oleyelogun, requested that the reasons for the various agitations should be considered.

Oleyelogun said, “Why don’t we ask why those people agitating are doing so? We must know their reasons, especially now that we are talking about power devolution.”
