Says South-west governors, monarchs are with us on ‘Yoruba nation’
Sunday Adeyemo, a youth leader better known as Igboho, says governors of the south-west have shown their support for the demand of a Yoruba nation.
Igboho, who had earlier declared that the Yoruba are no more part of Nigeria, joined supporters on Saturday in Osogbo, Osun state capital, for a pro-Yoruba nation rally.
While addressing the supporters, he said the governors have not openly showed their support over fear that the federal government might stop giving them the monthly allocation.
“I can’t be cowed or intimidated. They said I would be arrested. Who would dare do that? We are no longer part of Nigeria,” he said.
