Elder statesman, and former Liaison Officer to then President Shehu Shagari, Alhaji Tanko Yakassai has said the plan to restructure Nigeria is a Yoruba agenda. Tanka Yakassai speaking in Kano recently said,”From Action Group to UPN, to NADECO to PRONACO, the agitation for restructuring is concentrated among the South-West people of southern Nigeria. The whole aggression originated form Action Group, and the intention was to deny the North the benefit of the population and land mass. It is therefore a gang-up to deprive the North the benefits.This agitation is not driven by patriotism, rather its driven by hate and envy and this campaign started with some politicians in the South-West way back in 1959.” Speaking on the faction against Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in the All Progressives Congress(APC), Tanko Yakassai said, “From all indications, every right thinking person will figure out a sinister plot to completely scheme out Tinubu from the hierarchy of APC and I want to believe this is coming from the Presidency.” He urged Tinubu not to hesitate to speak out against injustice in the party.
