The pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, has warned the National Assembly against inserting any clause conferring indigene status on non-natives anywhere in Nigeria.
A statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Jare Ajayi, said this could worsen herders-farmers conflicts in the country.
The statement called for residency rights for non-natives instead of conferring indigene status on them.
It urged lawmakers to ensure that in the amendment concerning indigene ship, a provision is not inserted in the constitution that would make non-natives to supplant the indigenes.
