WATCH THE VIDEO HERE A Yoruba self-determination group, Yoruba One Voice, led by the Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, has kicked against the push to introduce Sharia law in parts of the South-West, warning that such a move could destabilise the region and threaten Nigeria’s already fragile pluralism. This position was articulated in a communique issued at the end of YOV’s international virtual conference with the theme “Sharia Law in Yorubaland: Setting Things Straight through Restructuring.” Presided over by Adams, who is YOV Convener, the conference brought together members of the YOV Global Coordinating Council, the General Assembly, critical stakeholders, and prominent Yoruba sons and daughters across the diaspora. The communique stressed that regional autonomy and restructuring remain the only viable paths to ensuring peaceful coexistence and sustainable development in Nigeria.
