Aare Osibote, the President of Ooduwa Peoples Congress (OPC), a Yoruba nationalist organization in Nigeria says he cannot fault agitations of popular Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo.
He said this on Tuesday when he featured on an ARISE News programme, The Morning Show.
Mr Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho had staged protests in five of Nigeria’s southwestern states and plans a Lagos rally for July 3.
He’s consistently called for a separate ‘Yoruba Nation’ and expressed anger over the continuous killing and kidnapping of Yoruba people by killer herdsmen in recent times.
Mr Osibote however warned that the price for separation could prove to be very costly.
