Yoruba Human Activist, Sunday Igboho 

“Tinubu is a Yoruba man and his becoming the President can't stop us from the struggle for the realisation of the Yoruba nation” says Igboho 

In spite of the election of a Yoruba president, Yoruba Nation agitator Chief Sunday Adeyemo, also referred to as Sunday Igboho, has reiterated the goal of his movement to establish an independent Yoruba nation.

In an interview, Igboho expressed his opinions to The PUNCH.

Igboho stated that his llana Omo Oodua group started agitating long before President Bola Tinubu, a Yoruba man, was elected, in response to a question concerning abandoning the sovereignty effort after Tinubu took office.

“We haven't dropped the agitation for the Yoruba nation despite the emergence of President Bola Tinubu. We have been on this agitation long even before Tinubu clinched the presidential ticket of his political party, the All Progressives Congress.

“Our agitation is not predicated on the election of a Yoruba man as the President of the country. Tinubu is a Yoruba man and his becoming the President can't stop us from the struggle for the realisation of the Yoruba nation,” he said

Igboho stated that despite being less noticeable lately, his organization is still actively advancing the cause and that the UN is periodically updated on the advancements being made.

“You may think that you haven't heard from us or seen much of us recently, we are still on the project and the United Nations is aware of our activities. We have submitted correspondence and letters keeping the world body abreast of our progression in the struggle for Yoruba,” he noted.

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

In response to claims he lacked the authority to lead the fight for self-determination, Igboho responded.

“Nobody is exclusively vested with the power in this struggle. We have leaders like Prof. Akintoye, but my critics cannot determine the requirements for leading this peaceful, legitimate campaign,” he declared.
