(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Popular Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho has said that there is no going back on the agitation for Yoruba nation and there won’t be an election in 2023.

Igboho disclosed this when he joined some of his followers in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

The Yoruba activist, who spoke at the palace of the Deji of Akure, disclosed that Yorubas cannot be second class citizens in Nigeria, hence the call for self-determination.

While saying that the governors within the South-West region were behind the course for the realization of a Yoruba nation, Igboho frowned that traditional rulers have been stripped of their powers because of the selfish interests on the part of politicians.

He said: “There no going back on Odua nation. There won’t be election in 2023 and all will be achieved before the year runs out.

“Fulanis are now terriorizing us on our land but it’s time for all that to end. All that we have are being controlled by the Fulanis and that is why we are saying that enough is enough. All we want is Yoruba nation and nothing more.”

He also appealed to his followers to stop abusing Yoruba elders adding that they were also not happy with what is going on in the country.

Also, the Edemo of Akure, High Chief Afolabi Fayehun enjoined Igboho and his followers on the need to shun violence in their agitation in order for it to scale through.
