Fugitive Yoruba activist, Mr Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, had taken his “Yoruba nation” agitation to Osogbo the Osun state capital.

Igboho and his supporters defiled the security presence and took the rally to major streets in Osogbo to enlist the support of the people of the state.

However, Heavy rain and thunderstorm eventually brought the rally to a premature end on Saturday afternoon.

Igboho was addressing rally goers when the scorching sunny weather turned cloudy at 2:25 pm.

He hurriedly addressed his supporters standing on top of a vehicle but when other leaders wanted to address the agitators, heavy rain started and it dispersed supporters from the venue.

While addressing his supporters, Igboho said the security agents could not prevent him from exercising his right to express his mind as a citizen of the country.

Igboho insisted that nothing would stop the actualisation of the Yoruba nation and called on the people of Osun State to key into the agenda.

He also appealed to all stakeholders and traditional rulers in Yorubaland to openly declare support for the agitation for the Yoruba nation.

Why is Sunday Igboho leading the agitation for Yoruba Nation?

Sunday Igboho was a little known political thug until sometimes last year when he shot to the limelight. He became a prominent figure who promised to defend Yoruba people against killer Fulani herdsmen who have been encroaching into Yoruba land in recent times.

Citing the federal government’s inability to protect Nigerians, Igboho’s mission has changed from defending the Yoruba people to agitating for an independent Oduduwa Republic that would secede from Nigeria.

He is not the only one seeking secession. In the South-east, Nnamdi Kanu and his paramilitary organization; Eastern Security Network have become more violent in recent days attacking police stations and Nigerian military installations.

They want an independent state of Biafra for the people of old Eastern region of Nigeria.

Sunday Igboho Labels Tinubu, Makinde, ‘Fulani Slaves’

Popular Yoruba vigilante, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has labeled a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu; and Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State as ‘Fulani slaves’.

The activist stated this on Wednesday morning at a virtual ‘Townhall With Yoruba In Diaspora’. According to him, the politicians failed to convey the pains and displeasure of the Yoruba people to Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari.

Earlier, Igboho issued a seven-day quit notice to herdsmen accused of sundry crimes in the Ibarapa area of Oyo and enforced the same.

Makinde had met with the President in Aso Villa last week in a bid to find a lasting solution to the herdsmen crisis. The governor has been accused of not doing enough to fighting killer herdsmen in parts of the state.

A leader of the Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, had said Tinubu is afraid to speak on the Fulani herdsmen crisis in the South-West region because he does not want to offend the President. Adebanjo said Tinubu has not condemned the attacks by Fulani herdsmen on the Yoruba people because of his presidential ambition in 2023.

Speaking early Wednesday, Igboho said politicians were afraid of speaking up because they don’t want to endanger their political career.

“A lot of these people we call fathers are cowards and they are Fulani slaves. Once they get to Abuja, they will change everything. And at this stage, we must not be afraid of anybody. Any leader who does not cooperate should be dealt with.

“Yoruba people need not fear Fulani herdsmen anymore. The leaders should show themselves as up to the task. We should deliver ourselves from the enslavement of the Fulani people. Tinubu and his people are Fulani slaves, they don’t have anything good to offer. All the politicians don’t have anything to offer Yoruba people. They are all Fulani slaves, they can’t talk. It is better we cooperate and fight this menace once and for all. We must ‘soro soke’ once and for all,” the activist submitted in the teleconference.

“Seyi Makinde on his own has turned to something else in Oyo State. And we elected him into office but he is a total mistake. He is running after second term and he can’t hear the cries of his people,” Igboho added.
