TENSION As Sunday Igboho Threatens To Deal With Ooni, Destroy Properties Belonging To Tinubu, Other Politicians Not Supporting His Struggle.
Sunday Adeyemo, better known as Sunday Igboho, has threatened to attack Yoruba politicians who stand against his ongoing struggle which according to him is to protect Yorubaland from Fulani herdsmen.
Igboho said this while speaking during a virtual town hall meeting which started at 11:15 p.m. on Tuesday and ended at 1 a.m. on Wednesday. It had more than 1000 participants from Nigeria and the Diaspora.

Igboho joined in at 12:16 a.m., saying he was just entering Oyo town to see Lamidi Adeyemi, the Alaafin of Oyo, for a meeting. He said the monarch is in supporter of his struggle.
Recall that Igboho had issued a seven-day ultimatum to herders in Ibarapa area of Oyo state, blaming them for kidnapping, killings, destruction of farmland and insecurity in the state.
After confronting the herders in Ibarapa with some youths in the area at the expiration of the ultimatum, he moved to Ogun state on Monday and was received by thousands of youths.
Issuing the threat, Igboho said, “Our (Yoruba) leaders are lazy and slaves to Fulanis. They visit Abuja to collect money, we will attack them and destroy their property.

“Tinubu and other Yoruba politicians are Fulani slaves. We need not be afraid. I have not collected any money from anyone. I am a full Yoruba man and I will not allow Fulani people to enslave me, we do not look or behave alike in any way. The herders should go. Makinde is also a slave to the herders because of second term ambition,” Igboho said.
On the Ooni of Ife, Igboho said the Ooni and others are interested in their own gain even though they claim to represent the Yoruba interest.

“When Ooni visited Buhari, the president received him by standing up but he said something I don’t like. That is why the Alaafin called me. He wants to tackle what Ooni said.
“Ooni should be able to tell Buhari about what Yoruba want. But he has collected dollars from Buhari. He called me but I don’t want to see him. Only Alaafin is supporting us and he has written a letter to the president. Ooni disappointed me. Politicians are with him,” Igboho added.

“Ooni should be dealt with. I am annoyed. Why should we be afraid of the crown they (Yoruba monarchs) wear?”
The youth leader also criticised Abdulrasheed Akanbi, the Oluwo of Iwo, for calling himself an Emir. He said some Yoruba leaders have turned themselves into slaves of the ethnic tribe that oppresses their people because of money.
He said “The Oluwo will wear turban and start calling himself an Emir, our people should call him and tell him to stop what he is doing.”
Igboho went further to disclose that he has not received financial support from anyone, adding that he needs buses to transport his followers to places where the herders are wreaking havoc.

“I need buses to transport people. The three vans we use are bought by me. We lost three buses that were hired on our way to Oyo.”
According to Igboho, the fight to liberate the Yoruba and bring lasting peace is not for the police but for all Yoruba people, irrespective of where they are all over the world.
He said: “I am not concerned about the police. The struggle is about Yoruba agenda as it concerns security situation in our land and I trust Yoruba people for support.
“People are afraid because of the atrocities of the herders. We also pray that our leaders will support us irrespective if their fear of being arrested.
“They should be able to talk to President Muhammadu Buhari on security in Yoruba land.”

During the meeting, some of the participants called on Igboho to stop recording and releasing videos of his activities. A caller also advised him to stop attacking Yoruba leaders, saying they are not speaking up because of the respect for the Nigerian constitution.
A caller also said Yoruba monarchs should stop giving land to the herders, calling on the people to rise in support of Igboho.
At the end of the meeting, several WhatsApp groups were set up while two account numbers were given for people to donate money to support Igboho.
