Despite the emergence of a Yoruba president, Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has reaffirmed his movement’s commitment to achieving an independent Yoruba nation
Igboho made his intention known in an interview with newsmen,noting that he would not shelve the sovereignty effort as his group began agitating long before Tinubu’s election.
“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 his group is still actively furthering the cause, adding that the United Nations receives periodic updates on progress being made.
He also dismissed critics questioning his leadership or impact under the new Tinubu administration as he responded to accusations that he lacked the standing to spearhead the self-determination struggle.
