A Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has submitted a petition to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, to consider the creation of a Yoruba nation.
Olayomi Koiki, the spokesman for Sunday Igboho, made this known in a post on Sunday via his X page.
He stated that 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.”
Those who accompanied Igboho were Diaspora Youth Leader, Prophet Ologunoluwa, Vice President of Ifeladun Apapo, Fatai Ogunribido, General Secretary of Yoruba World Media, Alhaja Adeyeye, and Member of Yoruba Nation Movement, Paul Odebiyi.
PUNCH Online reports that the movement is seeking the immediate intervention of the UK Prime Minister and his government in their agitation to set up a country that Indigenous Yoruba people will predominantly own.
Akintoye and Sunday Igboho have been at the forefront of the actualization of a Yoruba nation.
