Popular Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo, well known as Sunday Igboho, has labeled a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu; and Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State as ‘Fulani slaves’.
The activist stated this on Wednesday morning at a virtual ‘Townhall With Yoruba In Diaspora’ monitored by The PUNCH.
According to him, the politicians failed to convey the pains and displeasure of the Yoruba people to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

The PUNCH had reported that Igboho issued a seven-day quit notice to herdsmen accused of sundry crimes in the Ibarapa area of Oyo and enforced same.
Makinde had met with the President in Aso Villa last week in a bid to find lasting solution to the herdsmen crisis. The governor has been accused of not doing enough to fighting killer herdsmen in parts of the state.
A leader of the Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, had said Tinubu is afraid to speak on the Fulani herdsmen crisis in the South-West region because he does not want to offend the President.
Adebanjo said Tinubu has not condemned the attacks by Fulani herdsmen on the Yoruba people because of his presidential ambition in 2023.
Speaking early Wednesday, Igboho said politicians were afraid of speaking up because they don’t want to endanger their political career.
