“The petition was submitted on Saturday by Igboho on behalf of Professor Adebanji Akintoye, who leads the Yoruba Nation movement.

Igboho was accompanied by several notable figures, including Prophet Ologunoluwa, a Diaspora Youth Leader; Fatai Ogunribido, Vice President of Ifeladun Apapo; Alhaja Adeyeye, General Secretary of Yoruba World Media; and Paul Odebiyi, a member of the Yoruba Nation Movement.

The movement is calling for immediate intervention from the UK Prime Minister and his government, advocating for the establishment of a country predominantly for the indigenous Yoruba people.

Several reports indicate that Yoruba historian and leading figure in the Oodua Nation independence struggle, Banji Akintoye, had previously accused the Nigerian government of attempting to pressure Igboho to step back from the secessionist efforts.
