Yinka Odumakin described the Yoruba people as those who are slow to anger and called on relevant authorities to quickly swing into action in order to prevent another Civil war between the Yoruba people and Fulani which occurred in Oshogbo in 1840 where Yoruba people used traditional technology to prosecute wars.

He was a comrade and an activist who was sincere in representing and speaking for the Yoruba people, he spoke the truth at all times without fear or favour.
