Sunday Adeyemo, an activist leader better known as Sunday Igboho, has declared that the Yoruba are no longer part of Nigeria, threatening re-opening of closed land borders in the southwest for easy passage of food items.
In a video of the event that has gone viral, Igboho said all the borders will be opened, while lamenting that major institutions in the south-west are headed by people of Fulani origin. Igboho made the declaration while speaking in Ibadan on Wednesday.
“We no longer have peace in our home. We have a good country but our leaders are bad. We don’t want them again,” he said.
“After this discussion, we will hold meeting and open our borders so that rice, food and other things can enter easily. Enough is enough. All our borders that Nigerian government closed, we are telling them we are no longer under them, we will go and open the borders.
“We are ready for everything they want to do to us. I am speaking on behalf of Yoruba people.”

There is no evidence to substantiate this clam and some of his recent claims contravenes the constitution of Nigeria.
Igboho came into limelight after he issued an eviction notice to herders in Ibarapa area of Oyo state. He also forced Seriki Saliu Abdulkadri, Fulani leader in Igangan, to leave the town and relocate to the north.
