The Yoruba Nation determination groups under Ilana Omo Oodua, on Wednesday asked the Yoruba leader, Prof Banji Akintoye, to lead the Yoruba nation out of Nigeria.
The groups also deliberated on the efforts made so far on the release of Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho.
The groups also called on the leadership of Ilana Omo Oodua to expel Sade Olukoya, saying the meeting held in Lagos State by the later was in a bad taste and didn’t have support or approval of the coalition.
Ilana Omo Odua stated these in a communique issued after the meeting in Ibadan and signed by Alhaji Alli Oyedeji on Wednesday.
The group further called for removal of the name of Sade Olukoya as a representative of Ilana Omo Oodua while commending the efforts of Prof. Akintoye on ensuring that Sunday Igboho regained his freedom from Benin Republic.
The communique reads; “that a unanimous vote of confidence is hereby passed and reaffirmed the mandate given to Prof. Akintoye to lead the Yoruba people out of the contraption called Nigeria. That the conference held in Lagos by one Otunba Sade Olukoya was in bad taste and didn’t have the support nor approval of the coalition.
“That we called on the leadership of Ilana Omo Oodua to expel Sade Olukoya with immediate effect. That Olukoya’s name should be withdrawn from NINAS as Ilana Omoodua representative forthwith. That we endorse the dissolution of the executives mostly peopled by 5th columnists who recently resigned without shame.
“That we resolved to support the peaceful agitation under the leadership of Alana to liberate our people from bondage. That we commend the efforts of Prof Akintoye in his uncompromising resolve to free our illustrious son, Chief Sunday Igboho, from incarceration.”
