The Yoruba Revolutionary Movement (YOREM) has rejected any possibility of U.S. military intervention in Nigeria, following President Donald Trump's recent threat to deploy American forces after redesignating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC).
In a statement by National Coordinator Comrade Wale Balogun, YOREM said it firmly opposes foreign invasion and warned that the real danger facing Yorubaland is internal extremist colonisation, especially from terrorist Fulani herdsmen and jihadist groups seeking territorial and ideological expansion.
Key Points from YOREM’s Statement
No to U.S. military action: YOREM says foreign powers have historically contributed to Nigeria’s instability and should not be allowed to intervene militarily.
Defend Yorubaland: The group called on all Yoruba people, within and outside Nigeria, to protect their land against extremist threats.
Criticism of collaborators: YOREM accused some Yoruba individuals of aiding forces destabilising the region for personal gain.
Historical warnings: Balogun referenced the 19th-century Fulani expansion halted at Osogbo in 1840, noting that similar patterns are emerging today.
Unity among Yoruba groups: The organisation urged Yoruba self-determination leaders—including Gani Adams, COSEG, Banji Akintoye, Sunday Igboho, YSDM, and the Yoruba Leadership Forum—to take coordinated action.
Push for Yoruba autonomy: YOREM renewed its call for a Pan-Yoruba Constituents Assembly (PYCA) to draft a blueprint for autonomy within a restructured Nigeria—or a sovereign Oodua Republic if required.
Call to leaders:
Obas should form vigilante structures.
Lawmakers should support state policing.
Lagos State should strengthen Amotekun as a legitimate security arm.
Preserve Yoruba culture: The group urged an end to all forms of violence in Yorubaland and warned that Nigeria’s secularism is being eroded by religious bias.
YOREM concluded that although foreign intervention may seem attractive, history shows it often leads to consequences “far worse than current challenges.”
