Although the agenda of the meeting was not stated, Objectv Media gathered that the meeting was convened to address rising calls for secession in the light of the activities of personalities like Sunday Igboho and others.
On Saturday, agitators under the aegis of Omo Oduduwa United stormed the streets in Osogbo, the capital of Osun State, to demand secession from Nigeria.
One of the leaders of Yoruba nation agitators, Igboho, threatened that there would be no election in the South-West come 2023.
