A former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has noted that the rivalry existing between the Igbos in the South-East and the Yorubas of the South West has been the source of strength for the Hausa/Fulani in Northern Nigeria.
Recall that the leadership of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, yesterday warned the South easterners against being carried away by the recent solidarity they are getting from the Yorubas.
The group went further to describe them as hypocrites, who did everything to exterminate the Igbo race during the Civil War.
MASSOB was reacting to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu’s visit to Fani-Kayode’s home in Abuja few days after his release from prison.
However, in what could be a reaction to MASSOB statement, the former Minister wrote via @realFFK, his twitter handle, “Division, Suspicion, acrimony and unhealthy rivalry between the Igbo and Yoruba is the oxygen that gives strength to Northern hegemony.”
