Sunday Igboho, a Yoruba Nation agitator, has stated that the Yoruba people’s struggle for self-determination is still ongoing.
However, the agitator, who was recently released from detention in Benin Republic, stated that this would be accomplished without the agitators firing a single bullet.
Prof. Banji Akintoye, Prof. Wale Adeniran, and Dele Momodu, among others, were among the Yoruba leaders praised in a statement issued on his behalf by his counsel, Chief Yomi Aliyyu (SAN). He also praised Aliyyu, his lawyer, for taking up his lawsuit against the Department of State Service for free.
On July 1, 2021, the agitator whose residence was attacked by Department of State Service operatives asked his supporters and all self-determination agitators to achieve their goal through dialogue and peaceful methods.
The statement read, “Sunday Adeyemo a.k.a Igboho Oosa thanked all that are supporting him especially his leaders, Baba Prof. Akintoye and Baba Prof. Wale Adeniran and all Nigerians especially his people in Ilana Oodua and affiliates seeking self determination.
“He continues to preach against war seeing what is happening in Ukraine and some parts of Igboland in Nigeria. He implored all, especially his kinsmen at home and in the diaspora, to embrace dialogue in their quest for self determination without heating up the very fragile situation in Nigeria.
“He believes that their ambition will be achieved without firing a bullet as he used to say at rallies.
“He appreciates Chief Dele Momodu being the only Yorubaman of note that came to visit him in Cotonou prison. He remains grateful to the President of the Republic of Benin, President Talon, for releasing him from prison with a view to uniting him with members of his immediate family, albeit only in Cotonou for the time being.
“He assures all those in support of peaceful self-determination through a referendum that the struggle continues as he will not relent in his efforts in that regard.
“He pledged his eternal loyalty and respect to Chief Yomi Alliyu SAN who though an extreme Buharist and a nationalist who does not believe in balkanisation of Nigeria, exhibited extreme professionalism in taken up his case with DSS without a kobo and winning it with landmark award of #20.5billion dollars!”
