The statement by second Republic lawmaker, Dr. Junaid Mohammed describing some leaders of the group as noisemakers is obviously not seating well with Afenifer – a pan-Yoruba socio-political organization.
Mr Mohammed had an interview with a national newspaper accused some leaders of Afenifere of making provocative statements.
He said the Yoruba leaders learned no lesson from the Biafran war, describing them as “noisemakers” who will be the first to flee if war breaks out.
In a swift reaction, Afenifere’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, described Mohammed’s remarks as unfortunate, saying “Dr. Junaid Mohammed is the greatest noise maker from Arewa land.”
Odumakin said: “What is so pathetic is that his house is not rhythmic. He shouts here today and blows there tomorrow. He makes all manners of reckless comments against other groups without restrains.
“It is unfortunate that a brilliant person like him is devoting his intellect to negative causes most of the times.”
