Just few days after the recently concluded rivers election, Yoruba Youths Congress (YYC) has issued a seven day ultimatum to the governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike. They have asked him to tender a public apology to a statement he made against the Yorubas during a live television interview in regards to last Saturday’s convention.
The Yoruba group has asked that the governor tender a public apology to least five notable News papers and three National television stations, including Channels TV.
The National President of the YYC, Prince Dapo Adepoju while addressing reporters in Akure, said Governor Wike shouldn’t dare coming to the south west if he failed to heed to the demands of the group.
He said, “it so unfortunate that Governor Nyesom Wike could throw decorum to the air by calling Yoruba people all sorts of unprintable names on a national T.V
“We wish to use this medium to alert Governor Wike to present an open apology to Yoruba’s on at least five notable News papers and three National television stations, else governor Wike should forget about coming to the southwest.
“We are cultured people and we will never accept any form of disrespect for our heritage from any one irrespective of his/her position.
“We have lots of respected elders, such as former Presidents, elder statesmen, traditional rulers, Academics, and lots of people who has rose to the pinnacle of their career.
