Activist Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Sunday Igboho and his Yoruba nation agitators have invited the United Nations, European Union, African Union, Economic Community of West African States, and the governments of the United States and the United Kingdom to observe the rally scheduled to hold in Lagos on July 3.
The umbrella body of Yoruba self-determination groups, Ilana Omo Oodua, invited the aforementioned in its statement on Monday signed by its general secretary George Akinola.
The group recently held peaceful rallies in Ekiti, Oyo, Osun, Ogun and Ondo. Its scheduled Lagos rally has raised dusts among policy makers.
The group confirmed that renowned historian Prof. Banji Akintoye will attend the rally.
“The Lagos rally will be one of the super rally storms that have been blowing gracefully and peacefully all over Yorubaland and all Yoruba sons and daughters are encouraged to come out and stamp their unequivocal authority on the land. We own this space!” the statement read.
“Please come out in your brilliant Yoruba Nation regalia: vests, t-shirts and Omoluabi whites. Hoist your flags and sing the Ogo Adulawo Yoruba National anthem with gutso.
“We are on the last leg to liberation. And as usual, this rally will be peaceful, well-coordinated and orderly. It was peaceful at Ibadan, well-conducted at Abeokuta, super orderly at Osogbo, fantastically coordinated at Akure and epochal at Ado-Ekiti.
“The Nigerian police cooperated well with us in all these places. We do not expect it to be different in Lagos. Be a witness to history.”
