Nigeria Dead To Me, Yoruba Nation Imminent – Sunday Igboho Breaks Silence From Jail

Sunday Adeyemo popularly called Sunday Igboho has maintained that a Yoruba nation would soon be achieved despite his travails.

Recall that Sunday Igboho and his wife, Ropo, were apprehended by Beninese security agents on their way to board a flight to Germany.

The activist had fled Nigeria after the Department of State Service, DSS, had attacked his Ibadan home, killing two of his aides and arresting 12 others.

Speaking on Wednesday through his spokesperson, Olayomi Koiki, Igboho said Nigeria as a country does not exist any longer to him.

The activist stated that he believes the self-determination of the Yoruba nation will soon be achieved.

The statement issued by Koiki reads, “I received a message from Chief Sunday Adeyemo aka Igboho via his lawyer from Benin Republic lawyer Olusegun Falola that he stands on his belief, self-determination for the Yoruba Nation, because there’s nothing like Nigeria again for him.

“He believes as a Yoruba man and the indigenous person of the land that it’s time for Yorubas to stand on their own as a Nation.

“He sends his greetings and appreciation to all the sons and daughters of Yoruba nation around the world, that you all have given him all the drive needed to stand his ground and he also reiterated that the Yoruba Nation Now; there is no going back.

”We must continue our peaceful awareness and campaign in accordance with the United Nation Charter, African Union Charter in seeking self-determination.

“Also towards the 1 million March coming up in New York at the United Nation 76th General Assembly organised by NINAS.”

He said, “I am Olayomi Koiki, the spokesman for Chief Sunday Adeyemo (Igboho). Our father, Chief Sunday Igboho extends his greetings to all Yoruba indigenes all over the world.

“He also asked me to send my greetings to the King, Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi, he said I should really appreciate you for the support, he said he can see how you’re supporting him because his wife is delivering the messages.
