The Paramount Ruler of Iwoland, HIM Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, has enjoined Yoruba monarchs, elders and stakeholders to take a walk to Buhari on appeal to him on Sunday Igboho’s release from jail.
Oba Akanbi in a statement released on Sunday 21st November 2021, on his official social media account, stated the Sunday Igboho’s release from detention will go a long way in strengthening the unity of Nigeria.
Oluwo appealed to Yoruba monarchs to “harmonize their interest towards the release of our son, Sunday Igboho.”
He premised his argument on the oneness of Nigeria and could be further cemented on the release of Sunday Igboho and Nnamdi Kanu.
The first-class monarch enjoined Buhari to honour Yoruba kings and stakeholders, saying such a cachet will convince Yorubas home and abroad to respect the unity of Nigeria.
Oluwo urged the federal government to effectively relate with the Benin Republic on the bilateral ground and ensure Igboho is safely returned to Nigeria without further trial. He said such action will encourage more patriots from Yoruba land.
A statement by Oluwo through his press secretary, Alli Ibraheem, reads: ” The controversies surrounding the continuous detention of Sunday Igboho can be addressed should the Yoruba Monarchs, elders and stakeholders ready to take a walk to President Muhammed Buhari. Sunday Igboho is our son, he has made some mistakes that are realizable on the agitation for Yoruba nation.
The approach is jeopardizing the intention. I urge stakeholders in Yoruba affairs to harmonize their interest, come together and approach the country’s leaders for the release of embattled Igboho”
“Granting such request will entrench the unity of Nigeria and foster a harmonious understanding. Only the federal government has the exclusive charisma to liberate the face of Yoruba nation agitator at this critical time. Our son must be rescued. Releasing Igboho without recourse to legal lingering litigation will earn the government credit. It is a credit of maturity and unity”
Oba Akanbi called on Nigerians to continuously exhibit love, maturity and loyalty capable of sustaining the unity of Nigeria.
