Yoruba rights activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has said the time has come for the actualisation of the much-desired Yoruba Nation.
He said that there is no basis for ‘one Nigeria’ as insecurity spreads to the southwest region, adding that the only solution is for the Yoruba nation to stand on its own.
Igboho in the now-viral video where he was addressing a press conference, reiterated his stance against killer herdsmen in the southwest.
Sunday Igboho: Yoruba Nation Still Remains The Goal
“Starting from now, we don’t want herdsmen in our land to disturb our farms again. If we meet any killer herdsmen, we are going to face and destroy them.
“If any police attack us for that, we are ready for them. We don’t want Nigeria again, but Yoruba nation. There is no essence for one Nigeria when major resources in the country are in the hands of the northerners.”
“Enough is enough, no going back… we are not scared of anybody, these killer herders are taking over our land and they are killing us,” he added.
However, in a related story, the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnmadi Kanu Thursday backed the formation of Biafra Government as canvassed by the former Niger Delta warlord Mujahid Asari Dokubo saying it is not a threat to IPOB.
Why Always The Igbos? IPOB/ESN, Bandits, Herdsmen Crisis
Dokubo had few days ago declared himself as the Head of Biafra de facto Customary Government (BCG).
Speaking to newsmen, the IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary Emma Powerful, said the leadership of IPOB has no interest whether Asari Dokubo or any other agitating group forms Biafra government or not.
Rather, he said the formation of many pro-Biafra groups would make the work of IPOB easier, adding that IPOB would support any group that fights for Biafra freedom.
“IPOB is not interested with the formation of Biafra agitating group. Anybody can form his and her own group but one thing is certain- let them maintain stand to fight for Biafra freedom and independence. IPOB will support any group genuinely formed to fight for Biafra freedom.
