The leader of Ilana Omo Oodua,
Professor Akintoye dropped this hint in a New year message to Yoruba people at home and in the Diaspora made available to newsmen in Ibadan.
According to the Ilana Omo Oodua leader, the ” next election that we Yoruba people will engage in will be the first election in our own new country”.
” I need to touch on some more issues. The first is that among most Yoruba self determination advocates worldwide, the determination exists and is growing that there shall be no State Governorship and House of Assembly election in our homeland in 2022″, he said.
The Ilana Omo Oodua leader added, ” the next election that we Yoruba people will engage in will be the first election in our own new country”.
He stressed that ” in the struggle for Yoruba self-determination, God has given the group a great deal of success towards the attainment of the Yoruba Nation State”, adding, ” most of our self-determination organizations have grown stronger and more focused and the result is that the Yoruba self-determination struggle has become unassailable,
” From all these, and from other visible indications, I am confident that our Yoruba nation state is close at hand. Therefore, let us embark on thinking of the things we will need to do to make our new Yoruba country the most wonderful place to live in the world. Also, let us embark on thinking of the things we need to do to make our nation a friend and helper to all its neighbours.”
Professor Akintoye stated further that the ” second issue is that the Yoruba self determination struggle will employ the powers of the law more emphatically to resist the abuses of human rights in our Yoruba homeland.”
” From the beginning of 2022, we are going to take serious actions against all cases of Human Right abuse against our people. The Yoruba nation must prepare itself now for such Human Rights initiatives”.
” With great gratitude to God, I Banji Akintoye, bring this message to all my Yoruba people at home in the Yoruba homeland and all Yoruba people in the Diaspora in almost all countries of the world. In particular, I congratulate all of us who have in one way or another contributed to the Yoruba struggle for self-determination. I thank and congratulate all Yoruba self-determination organisations and agitators.
” From all over the world, Yoruba people are responding to this call for prayers and fasting. And from among the millions who are praying and fasting, countless messages of blessing are coming forth for the whole Yoruba nation. First, our dear son, Sunday Adeyemo, will soon be blessed with liberation from detention. Secondly, the Yoruba people will soon be blessed with their Yoruba Nation State, the greatest desire of their hearts. Thirdly, their new Yoruba country will quickly blossom into a marvellous country of peace, love and exceptional prosperity.
