Sunday Ighoho Threatens That Election won’t hold in South-West in 2023 In Agitation for Yoruba Nation

By Wasiu Owolewa, Ado-Ekiti

Popular Yoruba activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo fondly called Sunday Ighoho has  threatened to make sure that 2023 general elections  do not hold in Southwest in actualisation for Yoruba Nation.

Sunday Igboho made this known while addressing a large crowd of people at a rally that was held in Akure, the Ondo State capital, yesterday.

The Yoruba activists called on all sons and daughters of Yorubaland to support the move for the independence of  the region.

Sunday Igboho said that the Yoruba have suffered in the last six years of the present administration.

He added  that the only way for the Yoruba people to be safe is to secede and have an independent country.

The activist lamented the level of kidnapping, killing and maiming that had taken place in the Southwest region in the last six years and called on all Yoruba people to join in the agitation for a Yoruba nation.

Igboho who had earlier visited the Deji of Akure, Oba Ogunlade Aladelusi, called on all traditional rulers in Yoruba land to join forces with other prominent Yoruba leaders to free their people from oppression and victimization, which he alleged they are currently going through.

He said that he would continue to mobilize people for the freedom of Yoruba people until his dream of having a Yoruba nation is achieved.

The rally, which was attended by over 2,000 protesters, also featured masquerade and women, chanting Yoruba solidarity songs as they marched round major streets of Akure.


The youths had converged on Isikan junction as early as 7:00a.m from where they moved round major roads in Akure, chanting various solidarity songs to demand for an independent nation for the Yoruba.

Vehicles numbering about 300 were also used to mobilize people, while youths from other towns that make up the state joined in the protest.

The protest was conveyed by the Ilana Omo Oodua, a group championing the independence of Yoruba nation, and was attended by members of many pro-Yoruba groups and activists from all the local government areas of the state.

....Vows to take action on criminals  I receive daily security reports on the attacks on critical national infrastructure, and it is very clear that those behind them want this administration to fail. Whoever wants the destruction of the system will soon have the shock of their lives. We’ve given them enough time. I received a briefing today from the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on the series of attacks on their facilities nationwide. These attacks are totally unacceptable, and we will not allow those behind them to achieve their evil objectives. I have assured INEC that we will make available to them everything they need to operate efficiently, so that no one will say we don’t want to go, or that we want a third term. There will be no excuse for failure. We will meet all of INEC’s demands. In the area of security, we have changed the Service Chiefs and the Inspector-General, and we are demanding that they rise fully to the challenge...
