So are we. It’s time to finish the work. We’re championing the cause of restructuring, following the path of our forebears to secure justice and prosperity for Yorubaland.
Nigeria has long been recognized for the potential of its federating units, a vision championed by our revered late Premier, Chief Obafemi Awolowo. However, the current landscape of over-centralization is shifting our nation away from that path, stifling growth and prosperity. As the needs of our people evolve and the call for equity grows louder, we must find a new way forward to reinvigorate true federalism.
The Voice of Reason (VOR) is navigating the complexities of achieving a restructured Nigeria. We are working to advocate for the devolution of powers so that every state feels empowered to harness its resources and ingenuity, building a more prosperous and harmonious union for the Yoruba people and all Nigerians.
The Voice of Reason (VOR) is a non-partisan Yoruba advocacy group founded to champion constitutional restructuring and accountable governance in Nigeria. VOR engages leaders, communities, and the diaspora to advance policies and initiatives that strengthen democracy, promote prosperity, and improve the lives of people across Yorubaland and beyond.
