I’m focused on Yoruba Nation agitation not hunger protest – Igboho

I’m focused on Yoruba Nation agitation not hunger protest – Igboho

Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo, known as Sunday Igboho, has denied reports that he opposes the planned nationwide #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest.

His spokesperson, Olayomi Koiki, described these reports as “false” and “propaganda” aimed at undermining Igboho’s commitment to Yoruba self-determination.

Koiki clarified that Igboho remains focused on achieving Yoruba independence and referenced a letter sent to President Bola Tinubu on April 17, which called for negotiations on the Yoruba’s peaceful exit from Nigeria. This letter, also signed by Yoruba Self-Determination Movement (YSDM) leader Prof. AdeBanji Akintoye and Ola Ademola, set a two-month deadline for establishing a negotiation team, expiring on June 13, 2024.

Igboho reiterated his stance during a visit to Oba Benjamin Olanite, the Onimeko of Imeko, on July 25, where he thanked the monarch for his support during his detention in Benin Republic. He emphasized that while he supports Nigerians’ right to protest economic issues, his efforts remain on achieving Yoruba independence.

Koiki urged the media to avoid spreading misinformation about Igboho’s stance and announced that another letter would be sent to President Tinubu and international bodies to further negotiations for Yoruba independence.
