Prominent Yoruba activist, Chief Sunday Igboho has declared that the Yoruba Nation is due and that South-Western states are seperating from the Nigeria entity, OYOGist.com has gathered.
In a widely publicized video that captured the moment a meeting held between some prominent Yoruba leaders including Chief Adeyemo Sunday Igboho, Emeritus Banji Akintoye among others, Sunday Igbo declared Yoruba Nation as a new country different from Nigeria.
Speaking on the ills plaguing Nigeria, he cited that the two major borders in the South-Western region are controlled by Fulani entities, keeping the Yoruba tribes marginalized.
He further declared that the border closure instituted by the Buhari-led administration is to create an artificial food shortage in the South-Western region, and he’ll be opening the borders.
“I will open all borders in the South-West tomorrow, so that rice, cars and other goods can enter. Yoruba land is no longer part of Nigeria,” the activist declared.
