A Yoruba Nation agitator – Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho – arrived at the seat of British Government at No 10 Downing Street at the weekend to submit a petition calling on the UK government to support the independence of the Yoruba ethnic group in Nigeria.
Reports said he submitted a petition to the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, to consider the creation of a Yoruba nation.
According to reports, Igboho submitted the petition on behalf of Prof. Adebanji Akintoye, the leader of the Yoruba Nation movement.
Igboho’s spokesman, Koiki, via his X page on Saturday, 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.”
The movement is seeking the immediate intervention of the UK government in the agitation to set up a country of the indigenous Yoruba people.
