Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo alias Sunday Igboho has submitted a petition to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Keir Starmer, asking him to consider the creation of a Yoruba nation.
Sunday Igboho’s spokesman Olayomi Koiki revealed this in a post on Sunday on X. He also posted a photo of the Yoruba Nation agitator at 10 Downing Street.
Mr Koiki said Sunday Igboho submitted the petition on behalf of the leader of the Yoruba Nation movement, Prof. Adebanji Akintoye.
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.”
The delegation which accompanied Sunday Igboho included diaspora youth leader identified simply as Prophet Ologunoluwa, vice president of Ifeladun Apapo, Fatai Ogunribido; general secretary of Yoruba World Media identified as Alhaja Adeyeye and member of Yoruba Nation Movement, Paul Odebiyi.
The movement is seeking the immediate intervention of Mr Starmer and his government in their agitation to set up a country that indigenous Yoruba people will predominantly own.
Sunday Igboho’s call for an independent Yoruba nation began during the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari when Fulani herders were accused of killings, kidnapping, rape among others.
