The rally had many Yoruba groups from Southwest, Edo, Delta, Kwara and Kogi states. The protesters gathered in front of Mapo Hall in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
George Akinola of Ilana Oodua said: “We want Oodua Republic now. We had given them 90 days and another 30 days. The ultimatum ended on Friday. We are not fighting anyone; we are only fighting for our right for self-determination. We are asking for Yoruba nation.” The media aide to Chief Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho, Koiki said: “We don’t want guns here. Only security operatives are carrying guns. If anyone is killed here, Oyo State Governor and the Federal Government should be held responsible.”Leaders of Itsekiri in Edo and Delta states were also present at the rally.
Social distancing? Self determinastion?
If and if there will be Yoruba nation; none of the agitators OR advocators should wish of becoming the Oduduwa Nation President. A Sincere, fair selection and election must be done without chaos of religion, dialect etc
