Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Igboho, has submitted a petition to the UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, urging consideration for the creation of a Yoruba nation.
The petition was filed on behalf of Prof. Adebanji Akintoye, leader of the Yoruba Nation movement.
The group is seeking immediate intervention from the UK Prime Minister and his government to support their efforts to establish a country predominantly for indigenous Yoruba people. This was revealed by Igboho’s spokesman, Koiki, via his X page on Monday.
He wrote: “At exactly 14:00 hrs Dr. Chief Sunday Igboho delivered a petition to the UK Prime Minister on behalf of Prof. Adebanji Akintoye, leader of the YORUBA NATION movement, and Olayomi Koiki, his spokesman @10DowningStreet.”
Igboho has been a leading figure in the push for the establishment of a Yoruba nation.
It’s worth recalling that Prof. Akintoye previously accused the Nigerian government of attempting to pressure Igboho into abandoning the movement. The elder statesman revealed that during Igboho’s detention in Benin Republic, former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd.), acting as an envoy, secretly handed Igboho a document in prison, offering him billions of naira if he agreed to renounce his pursuit of a Yoruba nation.
However, Igboho refused to sign the document, which was later taken back by Buratai.
