Igboho To FG: I’m Not Nigeria’s Problem… Don’t Intimidate Me by ExAngel007(f): 12:36am On Jul 03, 2021 |
[b]Sunday Adeyemo, a youth leader better known as Sunday Igboho, has tackled the federal government over the raid on his residence by the Department of State Services (DSS). [/ The DSS had raided Igboho’s home in Oyo state in the early hours of Thursday, and at a media briefing later that day, the security agency presented arms, ammunition and charms alleged to have been recovered from the youth leader’s residence. However, speaking in a statement issued on Friday by Olayomi Koiki, his media aide, Igboho denied ownership of the items said to have been recovered by the DSS . Igboho also said he hasn’t committed any crime, adding that his focus has been on ensuring peace in the south-west region by kicking against “criminal herders”. “The invasion was done without a search warrant. I was not invited for questioning/investigation at any government facility before the invasion,” he said. “Nigerians and the world at large are aware of my resistance to the incessant killings, raping and kidnapping of my people in Southwest Nigeria by armed Fulani herdsmen. “The failure of President Muhammadu Buhari and his government to curb the criminal activities of the murderous herdsmen necessitated my intervention. I ordinarily would not have intervened if government had lived up to its responsibility of securing the Southwest and Nigeria at large from the criminal activities of the President’s ethnic men. “Of public knowledge, my intervention has not led to any loss of life or bloodshed. My means of curbing criminality is to the chase the criminal Fulani herdsmen out of their hideouts in company of the people of the affected communities. “It is because of the foreseen government persecution that videos of such interventions were transmitted live on social media. Nigerians, the security operatives, and the presidency are aware that I have never moved against the peaceful Fulanis and other tribes living peacefully in the Southwest. My unjust persecution — for defending my people and community — is therefore surprising and unwarranted. “Nigerians and the international community should please be aware that the security operatives that invaded my home either planted the ammunitions being paraded in the media in my home or harvest them from their armoury to frame me. The arms paraded are not mine; they are government magic. I protect myself with traditional powers, not with guns.” While condemning the raid on his home, the youth leader said the federal government should focus its efforts on addressing insecurity, rather than “intimidating” him. “Nigerians and the international community should beware that desperate efforts are being made to force those arrested to make implicating confession statements. I advise the DSS to desist from their unprofessional acts and devote such energy to eradicating insecurity,” he said. “Nigerians and the international community should please note that I am a law-abiding citizen without blemish. I advise President Buhari to, in the interest of Nigerians that voted him to power, order his henchmen to desist from using falsehood and unholy tactics to soil my name. Such energy should be devoted to taming the herdsmen and bandits freely committing heinous crimes across Nigeria with impunity because their kinsman is in power. “Yoruba people would not be demanding for a nation if government had lived up to its responsibilities. Self- determination is not a crime and all efforts to silence us and acquire our ancestral land for local and foreign criminal herdsmen will fail. “Many Ken Saro-Wiwa arose after Nigerian government unjustly executed the non-violent activist. Those that emerged after him confronted government and almost brought Nigeria to its knees. I am another Saro-Wiwa. “Therefore, I advise President Buhari to learn from the mistake of past governments. I am not Nigeria’s problem and should not be framed up or intimidated for contributing my quota to ensure peace reigns in my region and country.” https://www.thecable.ng/igboho-to-fg-im-not-nigerias-problem-dont-intimidate-me-for-ensuring-peace-in-south-west |

Stop this blame game, we all make mistakes. I was part of those who supported Buhari in 2015 and as you can see, majorities rescinded except Tinubu and the rest who is understood to be protecting their interest like every other Nigerian politicians. Let focus on the future Prinnce1: |

The sooner the South unites against dis cankerworms in power the beta for us all... Wen Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB were complaining about dis early U guys tagged dem wailers and tagged the problem an Igbo problem. Now it has dawned on U all and U are seeing sense in most of the cases he had been making against the govt, it is now a national problem. Anyways atleast now Nnamdi Kanu's rants are becoming justified even though his methods may not b lauded 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Dunce! Saying what he cannot write! You are a threat to Nigeria`s unity and would be treated as one. Buhari is just to calm. Times like this will make you miss Abacha and Babangida. |

It's a pity that afonjaz will rather throw their son under a bus just for crumbs coming from their master's table than emancipate themselves from slavery. This was the same thing they did to Abiola when he needed them the most. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Nbotee: Enough of this please. Who defines the South? The same Amaechi? Tinubu? Fashola and other politicians who stood by this old man ? The earlier the youth participate actively in politics the better for us. Let there be many youth parties, let’s support the young folks. None of them must be related to those old men who let us here. 2 Likes 1 Share |

EmekaA125: Well, that’s the problem again. We have monetized politics so bad that it’s all about money. The people always vote, it’s not their money that do the voting for them it’s still human being. The likes of Banji W tried to show us that it can be done without having the billions but everybody ignored them. If the youths are ready, the number is on their side. Flood the ballot with lots of parties and make them obsolete, collect their money and still not vote for them. It’s that simple! 1 Like 1 Share |
