Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho has publicly declared his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bid for a second term in office.

In a video seen by SaharaReporters, Igboho said: “President Tinubu for a second term. We don’t want any Peter Obi or Atiku Abubakar here.”

He further stated that even after Tinubu completes his eight years in office, he would be urged to continue as President of Nigeria.

"Even after Bola Tinubu completes his eight years in office, we will still beg him to continue," he boasted.

The secessionist leader also warned that no one should bring conversations about former Vice President Atiku or former Labour Party presidential candidate Obi to Southwest Nigeria, insisting that President Tinubu “owns” the region.

However, SaharaReporters previously reported that the Yoruba Union, also known as Ìgbìnmó Májékóbájé Ilé-Yorùbá, publicly distanced itself from Igboho over his alleged endorsement of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and campaign activities in support of President Tinubu.

The union declared that the struggle for the liberation of the Yoruba people could not be sacrificed for political interests.

It stressed that it would not be part of any move that trades the blood and suffering of hundreds of Yoruba people who have been killed or kidnapped for selfish political considerations.

In a recent statement signed by the group’s Convener, Olusola Badero, and released through its Home Director, Princess Balogun, the Yoruba Union said it had received numerous inquiries from Yoruba people both at home and in the diaspora seeking clarification on whether the organisation was aligned with Igboho’s alleged support for the ruling APC and the Tinubu administration.

“We unequivocally distance ourselves from Sunday Igboho’s selfish act of abandoning Yoruba Nation agitation to come out publicly to campaign for APC and its agent, whose policies have pushed millions of our people into poverty and economic hardship while insecurity has taken centre stage,” the group said.

The Yoruba Union said the agitation for the emancipation and sovereignty of the Yoruba people had always been built on sacrifice, commitment, and genuine dedication to the welfare of the people, stressing that many individuals had paid heavy prices for their involvement in the struggle.

Every guy man don turn a Hustler. Nnamdi Kanu will forever be respected by some of us who are not Igbos

God1000:
This man has turned to politician, I hope he will not disturb us again when another tribe takes over presidency

Ofunaofu:
So Igboho is no longer agitating for an Oduduwa Republic.

This reminds me of a famous statement by Babangida:

“If I am sleeping and wake up to hear Yorubas beating the drums of war, I will go back to sleep.”

I have said it and will say it again


Those supporting Tinubu are mostly people that are desperate for government free money, political appointment seekers, and greedy elites desperate to grab their slot in the sharing and looting of Nigeria's commonwealth. They are not supporting Tinubu based on the honest belief that Tinubu is a good leader governing Nigeria well. They are supporting Tinubu based on:


1.) Tribal-religious sentiment

2.) Desire to gain government patronage or political appointment

3.) Fear that nobody else can beat Tinubu an incumbent President in a Presidential election, so they don't want to be on the loosing side and miss out on some opportunities to share in the Nigerian national cake they have been used to eating from


They should continue, we that have our conscience in tact will continue to support what we know is right and just even if we don't win, what's important is to know that I never compromised and never sold my conscience.
