The Pan-Yoruba Socio-Political Organisation, Afenifere, has reacted to call from some concerned sons and daughters of Yoruba calling them to emulate the Ohanaze Ndibo, who approached Buhari to demand the unconditional release of Sunday Adeyemo, (aka Igboho), a Yoruba Nation agitator who is languishing in prison custody at the Benin Republic.
Recall the socio-cultural group from the southeast, Ohanaeze Ndibo, approached President Muhammadu Buhari sometime last week demanding the unconditional release of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, who is also cooling down in custody of the Department of States Services (DSS).
Although, President Buhari disclosed it was a tough decision for him to make, but promised he will consider their request of releasing the IPOB leader who was recently re-arrested in Kenya and was deported to Nigeria to face justice.
Accordingly, some supporters of Igboho have also urged the Afenifere to emulate the same in demanding the unconditional release of the Yoruba agitators.
Reacting to the call, the Afenifere Secretary-General, Sola Ebiseni said there is no basis for such demand as they believe Sunday igboho committed no crime.
In his statement, “We do not have to beg the President to release Sunday Igboho, as he did not commit any offense whatsoever; that’s our position.
“Those who went to invade his house were terrorists in a Nigerian security uniform and they have no right whatsoever and that have been tested in a court of competent jurisdiction. Igboho has been absolved and the government was visited with N20bn worth of damages.
He continued, “In spite of the impunity of the Buhari government, we insist that Nigeria shall not be governed except by the rule of law,” the statement added.
