Foremost Yoruba self-determination nationalist and leader of Ilana Omo Oodua, Professor Banji Akintoye, has advised the visiting UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, to make his fact-finding visit to Nigeria meaningful, impactful and worth the while.
Akintoye said the visit could be meaningful by making sure that he saw the facts on the ground and not fiction as might have allegedly been packaged by the federal government.
In a statement released in Lagos on his behalf by his media and communications adviser, Maxwell Adeleye, the Yoruba leader said Guterres must resist attempts by the Buhari administration to pull the wool over his eyes, sell him dummies and lead him by the nose in the wrong direction.
The statement reads in part: “The Buhari administration has started doing that already by preventing the UN chief from meeting the right people and from going to the right places.
“He is being shielded from the truth and from the reality on the ground.
“He is being deceived not to see the atrocities and deceit of the Buhari administration.
“At the eleventh hour, Guterres’s itinerary has been amended to divert him from the theatres of the atrocious bestiality of killers, murderers, bandits, herders and kidnappers that the Buhari administration has treated with kid gloves.”
