IBADAN—PROMINENT sons and daughters of Yoruba under the aegis of Atayero have set up a committee to  agitate for a confederacy which would give autonomy to the Yoruba nation.

The committee was set up yesterday in Ibadan after a prolonged deliberation on how the Yoruba nation could get off the claws of its oppressors and have a remarkable progress.

Many contributors lamented disunity among leaders in the zone. A man that represented the youths gave a stern warning to the older generation in the zone that they needed to act fast before they took up arms like the Niger
Delta militants.

Meanwhile the founder of the Oodua Peoples Congress(OPC) Dr. Fredrick Fasheun warned the nation to handle the case of ailing President Umaru Yar’Adua with caution so that the restiveness of the Niger Delta would not resurface.
