Igboho said some politicians have been “pressurising” him and his wife to sign documents they could use to beg President Muhammadu Buhari and his political circle on his (Igboho’s) behalf.

Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has revealed that some yoruba political leaders are asking him to beg the Presidency.

Speaking through his lawyer, Yomi Alliyu, the separatist agitator said any document claiming he authorised any politician was fake.

In a statement signed by Alliyu, Igboho said he was being pressured by politicians who were unconcerned about his incarceration in Benin Republic.

DSS releases two

The Department of State Services (DSS) has released the remaining two aides of embattled Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, alias Sunday Igboho, who have been in custody since July 1.

The detainees’ lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi, confirmed their release.

The DSS had during a midnight raid of Igboho’s Soka house in Ibadan, Oyo State, arrested 12 of the activist’s allies and whisked them away to Abuja, where they were kept in detention, but 10 were released.

Those earlier released were Abideen Shittu, Abdullateef Onaolapo, Ayobami Donald, Olakunle Oluwapelumi, Dikeola Ademola, Bamidele Sunday, Raji Kazeem, Taiwo Tajudeen, Tajudeen rinloye and Uthman Adelabu.

The secret police had held on to the remaining two aides despite an order by Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court, Abuja on August 4, for the release of all the 12 detained associates.

Dissatisfied with the ruling, the DSS went ahead to slam five-count terrorism charges against the two aides.

Olajengbesi, in a terse statement on Friday said: “This is to officially announce the release of Amudat Babatunde Abibat AKA Lady-K and Jamiu Noah Oyetunji, the remaining two Sunday Igboho’s aides, from the State Security Service Custody today – 22nd October, 2021.

“While the matter is still a subject of litigation, we shall have no comment further on this for now.”

It was a monumental cause a year ago that unified the brilliant young people of our great nation. It was a cause that they believed in, embarked upon, and demanded for transparent accountability, good leadership, inclusiveness in governance, equal rights for all irrespective of social status or position of privilege. Our young people are the greatest assets of our nation and they are determined to help Nigeria achieve its potential as they have the fire of patriotism burning inside of them.

We must not shy away from our collective challenges because this nation belongs to us all and our youths remain the most critical stakeholders in finding solutions to our problems and driving the future of Nigeria into its desired destinations. They are full of creativity, honesty, authenticity, and most importantly with a hopeful ambition to build a secure future that we all can be proud of through their innovative spirit. No matter how fierce and conscripted the struggle may be, our nationalism spirit can win the battle of greatness that Nigeria seeks when we are purposefully.

To all Nigerian youths, whatever the hopes of this nation will be in the future lies in your hand. This beautiful nation with abundant God given resources belongs to you all. I would like to crave your indulgence to seek for active participation in governance through the democratic system. You have numerical strengths, and no one can defeat you when you come together in unity.

I implore our political leaders to begin to seek for honest, frank, and genuine conversations with our young people as well as stimulate the credible governance system that all Nigerians can trust as history is a reminder of the past and the preserver of the future of all human endeavours. In a free and open society, the solid foundation of the leadership responsibilities is laid on selflessness. Therefore, we must restore the hope of good governance, implement a system that is not reactive, but proactive and responsive to the demands of Nigeria. No one is above the blessing of this beautiful country Nigeria, as every political officeholder is a servant of the Nigerian state.
