Yoruba One Voice, YOV, a pan-Yaruba group in the diaspora, has affirmed their support for Yoruba Nation agenda and encouraged activist, Sunday Adeyemo, better known as Sunday Igboho and other agitators across the world not to relent in the campaign for self-determination for the Yoruba nation.
This was conveyed in a communique issued by the group on Sunday at the end of a webinar conference.
Noting that the agitation for Yoruba Nation is entrenched in Article 1 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the African Charter on People’s Right, it urged agitators to continue the movement despite threats from the Nigerian Government.

“We urge Yoruba people all over the world not to relent in the irrevocable campaign for self-determination for Yoruba people.
“That the Yoruba Nation resolve to forge ahead with renewed zeal for the right to self-determination as entrenched in Article 1 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the African Charter on People’s Right.
“Immediate referendum to be supervised by the United Nations on the right to self-determination by the Yoruba Nation,” YOV said.
