Bode George, a PDP chieftain, today accused Yoruba Nation agitators who stormed the Oyo State Secretariat of treason.
Over the weekend, several Yoruba agitators stormed the Oyo State House of Assembly and Agodi Secretariat in Ibadan.
In a viral video clip, the agitators, dressed in camouflage and armed, declared that Nigeria had been transformed into a ‘Democratic Republic of the Yoruba’.
George reacted angrily to the invasion, emphasising that the agitators cannot take up guns against their government.
George, who appeared on the Arise News Programme’s Morning Show, said:
“You don’t just go and take up arms against your government, it’s treason. That they called Amotekun and the police is something; if it were people from my old profession, they would have seen them as enemies and fired at them.
“I was completely very angry because that is not the way you talk to your government. What could have driven them into that? My conclusion is that they might not be educated. You don’t take up arms against your nation.
“It’s unimaginable; you brought guns and charms; were they dreaming? It’s unacceptable, it’s the highest breaking of the law of the land. You have your freedom of speech which is the most sensible way to approach this problem. The problem is that this thing never leaked to the intelligence of this nation.
“Agitators carried their weapons in military uniforms, and nobody stopped them on the road; you now see the urgent need for state police because they could not have been meeting somewhere if we are well organized like the state police.”
