Gani Adams Tasks S/West Govs On Igboho’s Release As Yoruba Nation Agitator Turns 50 In Detention

Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Abiodun Ige Adams has congratulated Chief Sunday Adeyemo popularly called Igboho on his 49th birthday anniversary.

Igboho, who hails from Igboho town of Oorelope Local Government Area of Oyo State was born on October 10, 1972.

Adams urged the governor of the six states in the South-West to mount pressure on the Federal Government to ensure the release of Igboho who has been in detention in Benin Republic since July 19.

Adams said this on Sunday in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Aderemi.

The Yoruba generalissimo also called on the Benin Republic government to release Igboho from detention unconditionally.

He noted that for Igboho to have reached 49 years in life is a milestone and sign of maturity, adding that the best way to appreciate God in the life of the Yoruba nation agitator is to continue to live for humanity.

Acording to him, with the present situation in the country, there’s no doubt that the struggle for the liberation of Yoruba race is still ongoing and Yoruba nation agitators both home or abroad will never relent in seeking justice and total freedom from the bondage of bad leadership.

The Are Ona Kakanfo said, “Whether Sunday Igboho is with us now or in Republic of Benin, I think we owe him a duty to celebrate him on the special occasion of his birthday anniversary.

“The struggle for the liberation of our race is one struggle that cannot die, and no matter the threats or injustice meted out to each and every one of us by the Federal Government, we remain unshaken that the struggle for a just society where life is meaningful is a dream that can only become a reality in a Yorubaland.

“So, I am using this opportunity to urge all the six governors in the South-West to press on the Federal Government to release Igboho unconditionally. That is the only thing they can do to justify their positions and strengths as true ambassadors of the region.

“I once celebrated one of my birthdays in detention and in those trying moments, I felt the urge never to look back but look up to God and that actually raised my spirit that whether now or later justice will triumph.

“I will be set free from the bondage of injustice. And it all came to pass. Unfortunately, this same experience is playing out in the case of Igboho as he turns 50 today, but I am sure that he will surely be set free because the activist is not fighting a wrong cause but a cause for the liberation of our race.”
