Former President Olusegun Obasanjo was warned by A socio-cultural group, Yoruba for One Nigeria Forum (YONF), to clear his name over Conveyed media reports that he is influencing Benin Republic to shield Sunday Adeyemi popularly known as Igboho from facing prosecution.

 

 

The group in a statement titled, Olusegun Obasanjo is the Greatest Beneficiary of Nigeria’s Unity and signed by its National President, Seun Adebayo Lawal explained that the call became necessary in view of the significant benefits the former President and Yoruba nation as a whole have gained from one united Nigeria.

 

The statement reads: “The attention of our organisation has been drawn to media reports that former President Olusegun Obasanjo has embarked on a mission in Benin Republic to shield Sunday Adeyemi popularly known as Igboho, who is currently facing multiple criminal charges in the country and on DSS wanted list in Nigeria from being prosecuted.

 

Recall that the agitator has been on the run following his invitation by the Department of State Services”, the group noted.

It further averred that Nigeria has not given Yoruba nation agitators a reason to pursue emancipation, stressing that Obasanjo should know this better than anyone else especially being a two-time President of a united Nigeria.

 

“While we hope that this unpatriotic move is not true, we expect the former President to issue a clear statement on the allegations to inform Nigerians of his position. This is important because of the imminent misconceptions his silence is generating on this matter.

It is our position as a native Yoruba indigenous organization that the alleged move by Obasanjo needs to be censored so as to set records straight for posterity and history.

 

“The Nigerian history, in its present form has recorded the Yoruba nation as the greatest beneficiaries of Nigeria’s unity since independence.
