Yoruba Nation agitator, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has opposed the nationwide protests scheduled for August, aimed at addressing the country’s economic hardships.
In a statement issued late last night, Igboho declared, “I, Chief Sunday Igboho, am issuing this press release in response to the planned protests by some unknown and faceless individuals who are working to disintegrate the country.”
Igboho emphasized that since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu assumed office on May 29, 2023, he has implemented revolutionary policies that his predecessors lacked the political will to pursue. “These bold steps have, unsurprisingly, unsettled those who believe it is their birthright to rule Nigeria,” he said.
He further stated, “The Yoruba Nation Movement and I firmly declare that we will not participate in any protest aimed at using the Southwest as a battleground for political upheaval. We stand resolute in our belief that the Yoruba nation will not be a launchpad for disintegrating Nigeria. We recognize that economic hardship is a global phenomenon, not unique to Nigeria.”
