Popular Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo has publicly declared his support for Nigeria’s president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The declaration comes about a month after the federal government removed Igboho’s name from its wanted list.
DAILY POST reports that Igboho recently returned to Nigeria after spending nearly five years in exile following a deadly raid by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) at his Ibadan residence in July 2021.
The operation, which occurred during the administration of former president Muhammadu Buhari, was linked to Igboho’s agitation for the Yoruba Nation.
Several people were reportedly killed during the raid, while Igboho managed to escape arrest.
He was later arrested in Cotonou, in the Republic of Benin, while attempting to travel to Germany and was charged with “associating with criminals.”
After spending months in detention, he was granted a conditional release for medical treatment and eventually regained his freedom in 2023.
Igboho returned to Nigeria a few weeks ago after his name was removed from the Federal Government’s wanted list, reportedly through the intervention of Rashidi Ladoja, the Olubadan of Ibadan.
Speaking in a recent video circulating online, Igboho pledged unwavering loyalty to President Tinubu.
“Anyone that tells me not to follow Tinubu will be totally ruined. I, Sunday, will use all my life to follow Tinubu, and he will win his second term. And anyone that truly loves me must support what I’m doing,” he said.
