Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, former Minister of Aviation, has threatened to move a motion for the separation of the South West geopolitical zone from the Nigerian federation.

Fani-Kayode issued the threat in a tweet via his verified Twitter handle on Wednesday morning.

According to him, the move might become necessary if the perceived ‘Fulanisation and Islamisation agenda’ continues in Nigeria.

According to Kayode, such a motion by him will be consistent with the precedent set by his father, Chief Remi Fani-Kayode, who on August 2, 1958, successfully moved the motion for Nigeria’s independence from British colonial rule.

He said that the new republic that would emerge would be known as “Oduduwa”.

The controversial ex-Minister tweeted: “On August 2nd 1958 my father, Chief Remi Fani-Kayode, successfully moved the motion for Nigeria’s independence from British colonial rule.

“If the Fulanisation and Islamisation agenda continues I shall move the motion for Oduduwa’s independence from Nigerian colonial rule.”

Report has it that Fani-Kayode is a close supporter of Nnamdi Kanu, who is seeking a Biafra Republic in the South East geopolitical zone.
