Adams said despite public appeals and letters sent to the governors over the past two years, there had been no response from them, even as many residents continued to blame him over rising cases of kidnapping and violent attacks affecting commercial and social activities in Yorubaland.
The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, has accused governors in Nigeria’s South-West region of failing to respond to his repeated calls for collaboration to tackle worsening insecurity across the region.
Adams said despite public appeals and letters sent to the governors over the past two years, there had been no response from them, even as many residents continued to blame him over rising cases of kidnapping and violent attacks affecting commercial and social activities in Yorubaland.
Speaking during a public engagement, Adams lamented that many people expected him, as the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, to directly address the growing insecurity crisis, despite what he described as a lack of cooperation from state governments.
“People continue to blame me, saying, ‘You are the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yoruba Land and you refused to do something on the issue of insecurity affecting us,’” he said.
