Agbarijo Egbe Odo Yoruba, Grand Council of Yoruba Youths, was founded in October 2001 inside Trenchard Hall, University of Ibadan (UI), Ibadan, Oyo State, with the blessings of prominent Yoruba Sons and Daughters in both Afenifere and Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE) as well as their bosom friends from far North, General Buba Marwa (Rtd) and then sitting Governor Buka Abba Ibrahim of Yobe State, now late.
Our Objective was to join hands with progressive Elders within and outside Region for the promotion of Unity, Peace and Progress within Yorubaland and this exactly is what we have been doing selflessly for over 2 Decades.
Therefore, It’s a dream comes true with the announcement of the plan by the President through Chief of Staff to Mr President, Rt (Hon) Femi Gbajabiamila, to inaugurate Southwest Development Commission in the Region, during the Saturday All Progressives’ Congress (APC), Southwest Confrence held inside Eko Hotel, Lagos Island, Lagos State.
This will ensure that Southwest development is at par with that of Other Regions in Nigeria. It is a right move in a right direction and we must therefore praise Mr President for this initiative, congratulate the Southwest Leaders for being alive to witness this historic event while we dedicate it to sweet memory of the late Heroes and Heroines of Democracy.
