Ibadan, Oyo state – Yoruba Nation lead agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Igboho, has said the recent outburst of an Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi, on the appointment of some Christians into strategic positions by President Bola Tinubu was aimed at re-securing his alleged negotiation contract with bandits under the current administration.
Igboho is hailed as a hero by his supporters.

Adeyemo, in a personally signed statement obtained by Legit.ng on Tuesday, October 24, however, warned Gumi to desist from “fanning the ember of disunity” in Nigeria with his inflammatory statements.
According to Igboho, Gumi’s remarks are capable of causing disaffection among the citizenry.
The Nigerian separatist said:
“We know Gumi’s pedigree and his antics. Before the advent of Tinubu, individuals like him should have been explaining their roles to the security agencies on the festering insurgency in the northern parts of the country.
“While we will continue to advocate for an egalitarian society, we cannot fold our arms and allow Gumi to heat up the polity through his careless, destructive and inciting statements via his preachings. Nigeria’s security as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution must not be abused by anybody no matter how highly or lowly placed.
“We are not advocates for the Federal Government, but we remain part of critical stakeholders in Nigeria’s project, hence the need to drum sanity and decorum into the ears of anybody with traces of tendencies for religious fanaticism.
“For peace to reign supreme, it is incumbent on all and sundry to desist from any act that triggers mutual suspicion, distrust and needless crisis among Nigerians.”
He said Tinubu’s choice of his ministers and their activities should not be used as a decoy by anybody to seek reckoning or discreet threat to get the job of negotiating with bandits and terrorists like Gumi did under the immediate past administration of President, Muhammadu Buhari.
More to come…
