Chief Sunday Igboho, the champion of the Yoruba Nation, has made it clear that his people will not participate in the planned nationwide protest. According to Igboho, the protest is being orchestrated by unknown and faceless individuals who are attempting to divide the country.
Igboho emphasized that the Yoruba Nation has no intention of joining the protest, stating that while the right to peaceful protest is enshrined in the Constitution, it does not extend to calls for an unconstitutional regime change. He pointed out that during President Buhari’s tenure, there were no protests from the Southwest for regime change, even in the face of oppression and atrocities.
The focus of their protests, Igboho explained, has always been on protecting their communities, not destabilizing the country. “I and the Yoruba Nation Movement firmly declared that we will not participate in any protest aimed at using the Southwest as a battleground for political upheaval,” Igboho said, affirming that the Yoruba Nation will not be a launchpad for disintegrating Nigeria.
Igboho called on all Yoruba people and well-meaning Nigerians to reject what he described as politically motivated protests. “The Yoruba Nation unequivocally opposes any such protests and believes that President Tinubu should be allowed to complete his term in office,” Igboho said, emphasizing that the path to change lies in democratic processes, either through the ballot box or a referendum.
Igboho urged their members and the broader community to resist the temptation to participate in these protests, as they do not serve the interests of the Yoruba people or the nation as a whole. He also issued a strong warning against any individuals or groups attempting to instigate violence under the guise of these protests, stating that they will firmly resist and stay off the streets during the designated protest days and in the future.
By taking this stance, Igboho has demonstrated his commitment to democratic processes and his desire to protect the interests of the Yoruba people and the nation. His leadership and guidance are crucial in these uncertain times, and his message of peace and stability resonates with many Nigerians.
