Think Yoruba First Defends Kwara’s Cultural Identity Against ‘One-Sided’ Claims

A leading Yoruba advocacy group has rejected recent claims about the cultural and historical identity of Yoruba communities in Kwara and Kogi States. In a public statement, the group challenged an article alleging a politically driven “Yoruba agenda” linked to the presidency. It argued that the piece presented a narrow view that could mislead public perception of regional realities. The organisation emphasised that despite Kwara’s location in the North Central zone, its Yoruba-speaking communities have deep roots built on language, culture, and long-standing settlement patterns.

That advocacy group might be overstating its influence to divert attention from legitimate questions about a possible political agenda.

Community leaders should encourage a joint historical review panel in Kwara and Kogi, inviting neutral scholars to clarify these cultural identity disputes.
