The Yoruba Liberation Command, (YOLICOM) has said that the outcome of the 2019 elections may likely fail to address Nigeria’s deep-seated national question.
The Pan Yoruba group said expressions through violence in some parts of the country were indications of political and economic exclusion and the burning desires of many Nigerians to establish political and economic self-determination which the Nigerian state continues to stifle and undermine.
The group urged Yoruba people to insist on restructuring of the country as a first step to a truly democratic foundation.

The group said in a statement obtained by our correspondent recalled that in the past few years, the number of Nigerians participating in the electoral process has reduced to about 20 per cent of the entire population representing a vote of no confidence in the entire self-serving democratic structures, adding that the two leading Presidential hopefuls, General Mohammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) are birds of the same feather who represent the old order.
“YOLICOM also condemned in the strongest term the launch of Operation Python Dance expected to cover the entire country including Yoruba territories saying the exercise was an attempt to sustain an atmosphere of threat, fear and terror across the country,” they said.
