The statement came in the wake of the spate of insecurity in the country and the fallout of the #EndSARS protests.

Odumakin had noted that Nigeria “had virtually become ungovernable and unless it is restructured and restored to federalism, it will collapse”.

He was the spokesman of Afenifere for over two decades, coordinating the publicity and public relations activities of the group.
