Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde has said that the Yoruba people must remain united if they hoped to achieve the much-desired growth in the Southwest.
The governor stated this at the public presentation of an autobiography, titled ‘Awo’, said that without unity there cannot be development.
According to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, the governor decried the security challenges in the Yoruba-speaking states and in the nation in general.
He said collaboration and exchange of ideas among the Southwest states would enhance efforts geared towards tackling the insecurity.
He also urged the Yoruba to remain united, adding that by speaking in one voice, the forces of darkness attempting to overwhelm the region would be defeated.
