Tinubu’s presidency can’t end struggle for Yoruba nation – Sunday Igboho

The agitator for the Yoruba nation, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, also referred to as Sunday Igboho, has reiterated the goal of his movement to establish an independent Yoruba nation, even in the face of the election of a Yoruba president.

In an interview, Igboho stated his stance.

When questioned about abandoning the sovereignty movement when Yoruba President Bola Tinubu gained office, Igboho stated that his Ilana Omo Oodua group had started agitating well in advance of Tinubu’s election.

“Even after President Bola Tinubu emerged, we haven’t given up on our agitation for the Yoruba country. Long before Tinubu secured the All Progressives Congress presidential ticket, we had been engaged in this movement.
“We are not agitating because a Yoruba man was elected president of the nation. He stated, “We will continue to fight for the realization of the Yoruba nation even after Tinubu became president because he is a Yoruba man.”
Igboho added that although his group has been less visible lately, they are still actively advancing the cause and that the UN is periodically updated on the developments.

We are still working on the project, and the UN is aware of our actions, despite the fact that you may not have heard from or seen much of us lately. We have sent letters and correspondence to the international body updating them on our progress in the Yoruba battle,” he said.

He also disregarded those who questioned his ability to govern or his influence in the new Tinubu administration.

Igboho answered criticism that he was not qualified to lead the fight for self-determination.

“In this conflict, no one has the exclusive authority. We have leaders like Prof. Akintoye, but my detractors are unable to ascertain what is necessary to spearhead this effort in a lawful and peaceful manner,” he said.
