Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, otherwise known as Sunday Igboho has claimed that all governors and monarchs in the South-West believe in the struggle for an independent Yoruba Nation.
He said this on Saturday while speaking with other agitators at a Yoruba Nation rally held in Osogbo, Osun State.
According to Igboho, the governors are in support of succession but are scared to declared openly for fear of having their monthly allocations truncated.
The self-acclaimed freedom fighter said the Yoruba Nation must leave now as it can no longer slave for the North.
He said, “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. We won’t have anything to do with them again.
“There is no election again in Yorubaland until we have a Yoruba Nation. Those in authority initially thought we were joking when we demanded an independent Yoruba Nation.
“All our governors are with us. From Oyo, Ogun and Ondo to Ekiti, Lagos and Osun, they are supporting us, but they can’t do it openly. Allocation they give them in Abuja may stop if they do it openly. So, don’t abuse them again. Governor (Gboyega) Oyetola was informed I would be in Osun and he allowed us to come here. All our monarchs are with us.”
