Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho, said, his colleagues in the struggle for a country of people of South-West extractions are still in the trenches in spite having one of their own at the helms of Nigeria’s affairs in the person of President Bola Tinubu.
The agitation for secession of the Yoruba people in some quarters, peaked during the last administration of Muhammadu Buhari, with Igboho fleeing the country at the height of it to escape arrest and what may follow.
The separatists seem to have toned down their agitation with Tinubu as the incumbent.
Igboho, a vocal figure in the struggle, however rubbished any impression that Tinubu’s Presidency has baised them against the agitation saying in an interview he granted Punchng, “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. We, in the Ilana Omo Oodua movement, have made this clarification several times in the media space. You may think that you haven’t heard from us or seen much of us recently, we are still on the project and the United Nations (UN) is aware of our activities we have submitted correspondences and letters keeping the world body abreast of our progression in the struggle for Yoruba.”
