Femi Fani-Kayode, the former Minister of Aviation, has described Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho, as the most powerful man in South West Nigeria.FFK who shared
his opinion via his social media handle, also mentioned that Igboho is
canvassing for the rights of the Yorubas and is only doing the work that
God has sent him to do in the world.
His post reads
”I will say this once for all to hear.
Chief Sunday Adeyemo (AKA Sunday Igboho)
is by far the most popular and powerful man in South Western Nigeria
today. He has inspired millions and restored the honor and self-respect
of the Yoruba nation.
He has also proved to the doubting Thomas’ that the sons of Oduduwa are not cowards.
His views are simple and clear and he is entitled to them. He does
not believe in Nigeria but in Oduduwa Republic and that is his right.
We may not all agree with those views but we will defend his right to hold them.
We may not all accept his methods but, as long as he operates
within the law, we have no right to criminalise, demonise, undermine or
stop him.
He is not a terrorist, a crimimal or a murderer.
He is a law-abiding Nigerian citizen and businessman who pays his
taxes, defends his people and stands up against dangerous murderers and
killers that have come from outside our territory to kill our people.
He is not an activist but a freedom fighter, a hero and a
liberator of the oppressed who opposes tyranny and the mass murder,
ethnic cleansing and enslavement of his people.
Unfortunately there appears to be a well-orchestrated plan and
dastardly plot by some identifiable forces and individuals to eliminate
him.
The attempt to abduct him like a common criminal in the middle of
the road whilst he was on his way to a meeting with our reverred father
Papa Ayo Adebanjo just a few days ago by security forces is just one
pointer, amongst many others, to this.
They want to silence him at all costs because of what he has been doing, what he believes in and what he stands for.
This must not be allowed to happen. It must not see the light of
day. Those behind it must perish the thought because if it does there
will be dire, far-reaching and uncontrollable consequences for our
entire nation.
If it does there will be a massive and brutal retaliation and Nigeria will be broken.
If it does the quest for Oduduwa Republic will no longer be a
peaceful, lawful and constitutional one but it will become a violent and
brutal freedom struggle which will lead to an armed struggle and civil
war in which millions will die.
If he is killed those behind him will stop talking and writing and instead they will start targetting the enemy and fighting.
No-one will be safe and no-one will escape it.
This is not what I wish for but it is what I see and I pray it
never comes to pass. Nevertheless I see and sense it. I perceive it
strongly and it scares and worries me.
Igboho is unlike any other hero in Yoruba history. He is special
and he is the beloved of the Lord. What he is doing is what God sent him
into the world to do. He was carefully crafted and prepared for it.
Nothing must happen to this great, noble and courageous son of
Oduduwa who has captured the hearts and minds of over 60 million Yoruba
people from all over the world. He must not be killed.
Let me end with the following. Chief Sunday Adeyemo reminds me of
Sir William Wallace (1230-1305) the great Scottish leader and warrior
who led an armed rebellion against English rule and who inspired the
successful quest for Scottish independence.
Even though he fought and defeated the mighty English army
successfully on several occassioms and in many battles Wallace was
evenrially betrayed by the ruling elite of the same Scotland that he
sought to liberate.
They gave him over to their English oppressors and overlords in
return for land and title yet eventually his cause still prevailed even
though it was after his execution and even though he did not live to see
it.
Without William Wallace (Braveheart) there would never have been
an independent Scottish nation with its own independent Kings and
Queens. Without him Scotland would have forever remained a vassal state
of England
Without the efforts and courage of men like Sunday Igboho, Olayomi Koiki and a few others there will never be an Oduduwa Republic.
Happy New month.”
