Iba Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, has issued a warning that, given the number of crises the country is currently experiencing, Nigeria may cease to exist within the next two years.
He maintained that the government’s urgent implementation of true federalism was the only way to save the nation from going off the rails.
According to the Yoruba leader, the country’s governance has exhibited a lack of coordination, despite the insecurity situation, the economic downturn, and deteriorated institutions, among other things.

The Odua People’s Congress, leader Adams said this at this year’s Okota celebration in his hometown of Arigidi-Akoko, in Ondo State’s Akoko North-West Local Government Area.
He emphasized that the country’s ongoing problems would only get worse as a result of the drive to adapt Nigeria to a unitary system of government.
“With the insecurity issues in Nigeria, there is nothing that can be done if we do not have federalism. If we do not allow federalism on the basis of regionalism, I’m afraid within two years, this country will break.
“You can see how the wave is coming. It is not only a wave of insecurity, even the economy, depreciation of institutions, and lack of coercion in governance. Definitely, there is danger ahead if the Nigerian government did not act fast to restructure Nigeria to regionalism”, he said.
