…we propose the urgent convening of a Yoruba Security and Civic Renewal Summit, to bring together governors, traditional rulers, legislators, security practitioners, academics, labour leaders, business executives, youth organisations, women’s groups, and representatives of civil society. The purpose of such a summit should neither be merely ceremonial, nor politically partisan. Rather, it should serve as a platform for developing practical strategies for regional security cooperation, strengthening intelligence-sharing mechanisms, enhancing community resilience, improving coordination with security agencies, and promoting sustained civic engagement on matters affecting public safety.
Their Excellencies, Governors of the South-West States and their Deputies;
Their Imperial Majesties, Royal Majesties and Royal Highnesses, Custodians of Yoruba Heritage;
Distinguished Senators and Honourable Members of the South-West Caucus in the National Assembly;
Distinguished Speakers and Members of the Houses of Assembly across the South-West States;
