---Gives Condition For Political Solution
By Niyi Ogungbola
The detained Yoruba rights activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo Igboho has declared saying that, he is a Peace Loving Nigerian thus, prepared for a political solution to a possible agreement that will also be acceptable to his Oodua Nation Group”.
Chief Sunday Igboho stated this in a statement made available to newsmen in Ibadan by his lead in Counsel, Chief Yomi Alliyu (SAN).
This statement was in reaction to the possibility of political solution as a way out for Igboho as reportedly muted by Malam Malami (SAN) on Arise TV as reported by all the dailies on 10th November, 2021.
Chief Aliyu noted ” as a peace loving person is glad that the Federal Government has allowed reasons to prevail in realising that no force on earth can subdue the mantra of self determination by an indigenous people save referendum and/or sense of belonging and fair treatment of all tribes in accordance with the rule of law”.
The statement reads : ” We have the consent of Chief Sunday Adeyemo a. k. a Igboho Oosa to react to the olive branch extended to him by the Hon Attorney General of Federation in what we regard as kite flying strategy at Arise TV as reported by all the dailies on 10th November, 2021.
"Our client as a peace loving person is glad that the Federal Government has allowed reasons to prevail in realising that no force on earth can subdue the mantra of self determination by an indigenous people save referendum and/or sense of belonging and fair treatment of all tribes in accordance with the rule of law.
"Intimidation by imprisonment of our client in foreign land, that is generally regarded as the 37th State of Nigeria, cannot help the situation but respect for the
rule of law as espoused in the N20.5 billion judgment in favour of our client.
"The imprisonment is making him more resolute in seeking self determination for his Yoruba indigenous tribe. Hence as a mark of good faith Nigeria should start with instructing its “vassal” state to release our client and allow him to embark on his medical trip to Germany. Republic of Benin has not been able to charge our client for any criminal offence for the over 3 months that they hold him illegally in their prison in Cotonou.
"We have his mandate to enter into any binding agreement on his behalf that will also be acceptable to his OODUA NATION Group. Our client thanks his supporters especially members of ILANA
YORUBA/OODUA NATION home and diaspora, for their support and urge them to continue to be law abiding and respect the extant laws of the land"the statement concluded.
