lgboho not in support of nationwide protest, says Yoruba Youth group

Date:

The Yoruba National Youths, both at home and in the diaspora, have disassociated themselves from the planned nationwide protest, clarifying that Chief Sunday Adeyemo, commonly known as Sunday Igboho, is not involved in the demonstration.

In a joint statement signed by Prophet Ayodele Ologunloluwa, Yoruba National Youth Leader Diaspora, and Comrade Oyegunle Oluwamayowa Omotoyole (Omayor), the Yoruba activists emphasized that Chief Igboho’s focus remains on the quest for Yoruba Nation autonomy rather than the hunger protest set to begin on August 1.

The statement asserted, “Chief Igboho and the Yoruba National Youths, both at home and abroad, are not connected to this protest. Our primary concern is the self-determination of the Yoruba Nation.”

The youths criticized the portrayal of Chief Igboho in relation to the nationwide protest, suggesting that such statements are attempts to undermine his commitment to Yoruba self-determination and to dissuade public support for the protest.

They reiterated their unwavering commitment to the cause of Yoruba Nation self-determination, asserting that their efforts are focused on achieving autonomy, which they believe will allow the region to manage its resources and develop independently.

The statement also highlighted the ongoing crisis in Nigeria, noting that the country has been in a state of decline since independence and is now regarded as a failed state.

They argue that resolving Nigeria’s problems requires addressing the aspirations of its various nationalities.

“We remain steadfast in our fight for Yoruba Nation autonomy until it becomes a reality. Our goal is to ensure that Yoruba land can thrive and develop on its own terms,” the statement declared.

The Yoruba Youths expressed their support for Professor Banji Akintoye and Chief Sunday Adeyemo Igboho, reinforcing their rejection of any restructuring efforts or continued unity with Nigeria under its current state. They called for the removal of Fulani influence from Yoruba land and reiterated their commitment to the Yoruba Nation’s self-determination agenda.

They urged all Yoruba people, both within Nigeria and abroad, to support their efforts toward achieving Yoruba land’s liberation and commended the traditional rulers of Yorubaland for their backing of this cause.

The youths vowed to use all available means to realize their vision for the Yoruba Nation.
