If I Tell You What’s Happening in Nigeria Today, You’ll No Longer Sleep, Warns Danjuma

Ololade Adeyanju/

A former Minister of Defence, Lt. Gen. T.Y. Danjuma (rtd) has warned that the nation was “in a big hole”.

He also warned that in Yorubaland, everyone seems to have lost their voice in terms of speaking against “governance collapse”, while stressing the need for everyone to wake up.

Danjuma spoke yesterday at the launch of a book by the Nigerian Tribune, entitled, ‘70 Years of Progressive Journalism,’ at the International Conference Centre, University of Ibadan.

His words: “In Yorubaland, everybody seems to have lost their voice. People appear not to care about what is happening.

“If I tell you what I know that is happening in Nigeria today, you will no longer sleep.

“If you want details, I will give it to you privately. We are in a big hole as a nation.

“And people who put us in this hole have continued today. So, we have to wake up.”

Danjuma, who was Chief of Army Staff from July 1975 to October 1979, further warned, “Only we can save ourselves. The fifth columnist activities going on among your people are not helping matters.

“May Almighty God continue to bless this country. But only we can save ourselves from ourselves.”

Before Danjuma delivered his speech, Afenifere chieftain, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, had observed that Yorubaland was in danger, urging the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, to lead the crusade for the liberation of Yorubaland.
