We are going to set the ball rolling in actualisation of Yoruba Nation” he saidHe however enjoined all Yoruba groups in Nigeria and diaspora that have genuine interest of the region in their heart to register with the External Affairs Coordinator of the Oodua Action Movement for proper planning.”Those to speak at the conference will include notable Yoruba leaders like Professor Wole Soyinka, Professor Banji Akintoye, Chief Sunday Igboho, Afenifere leaders, Aare Ona Kakanfo, Otunba Gani Adams, Opinion leaders and Traditional rulers in the South West to be led by Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi among other”, he said.”Let me say here that some distinguished leaders in the South West will also be honoured at the proposed conference” he said.“On behalf of the Yoruba nation, therefore, and in respectful cognizance of the expressed demands and desires of the Yoruba people, and of countless organizations, leaders and fathers of the Yoruba nation, we are saying that Yoruba Nation autonomy must be a reality.”There is need for self determination of Yoruba Nation that would guarantee speed and monumental development of the region and that nothing would stop the Yoruba nation from attaining an Autonomous status within or without Nigeria.” Ologunloluwa stressedHe therefore commended Chief Sunday Igboho and Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu for the quit notice given to the Fulani Herdsmen in Oyo and Ondo states saying the Fulani invation of the South West has destroyed the region as majority of Nigerians no longer have faith in this country again.”This is no longer the Nigeria of the dream of the founding fathers. Since majority of Nigerians no longer have faith in being together again, the best solution is for people to go their different ways. But we have resolved not to do it in a chaotic manner.”The killing and Kidnapping by the Fulani Herdsmen in the South West must be Stopped. Enough is enough”, he added
