Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo alias Sunday Igboho has said he will write another letter to President Bola Tinubu, demanding a referendum for an independent Yoruba people.
In a statement on Tuesday, he said Tinubu’s response would determine the group’s next line of action.
Sunday Igboho and leader of Ilana Oodua headed by Professor Banji Akintoye had in April written Tinubu, asking him to set up a team to negotiate the exit of Yoruba people from Nigeria.
They said they expected action not later than June 15, 2024.
Following Tinubu’s silence on the matter, Sunday Igboho said, “On the letter, we in the Yoruba Nation movement, under the umbrella of Ilana Oodua headed by Professor Banji Akintoye, wrote to President Bola Tinubu regarding a referendum giving June 2024 as deadline. We are going to forward a reminder to Mr President and his response will determine our line of action.”
He said his group will not participate in the nationwide protest against hardship.
The Yoruba Nation agitator stressed that he earlier condemned the invasion of Oyo State Government Secretariat in Ibadan on April 13 by pro-Yoruba agitators.
