OPC leader slams Tinubu over silence on killings in Kwara, demands urgent actionOlubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, yesterday, held a closed-door meeting with the Yoruba nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, at his Bodija residence, promising to intervene over his (Igboho) travails.
This was contained in a statement, yesterday, by Igboho’s media office.
However, Igboho, who congratulated Oba Ladoja on his ascension to the throne, described him as “a leader deeply loved by people across Ibadanland, Yorubaland, and beyond.”He expressed his readiness to collaborate with the Federal Government to ensure effective security of the South-West region, noting that without peace and a secure environment, no meaningful development can thrive.
Meanwhile, a national leader of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), Adesina Akinpelu, yesterday, criticised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for failing to address the rising insecurity and violent attacks against Yoruba communities in North Central Nigeria, particularly Kwara South, during his national broadcast to mark Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary.
Akinpelu described the speech as “insensitive and incomplete,” lamenting that the growing invasion of Yoruba villages by armed Fulani bandits in Kwara South was conspicuously ignored.
