Igboho chides Tinubu's ex-director of campaign council
The Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, yesterday, berated a former Director in President Bola Tinubu’s Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Hajia Naja’atu Mohammed, for reportedly saying that he (Igboho) is enjoying freedom of movement despite being on the wanted list of the Federal Government.
Igboho, who described Mohammed’s claim as unfounded and ridiculous, cautioned her to desist from dragging his name into propaganda and campaign of calumny aimed at rubbishing the government of Tinubu.
Mohammed had reportedly raised concerns over what she described as a disparity in the Federal Government’s treatment of separatist figures, questioning why there had been silence regarding the secessionist activities of Sunday Igboho, while Nnamdi Kanu remained in prolonged detention.
She also accused Tinubu of allegedly sidelining the North in the governance of the country after exploring the region’s electoral value to attain power during 2023 general election.
However, in a personally signed statement, Igboho said Mohammed’s claim about his freedom aptly shows her ignorance and myopic mindset, saying: “I’m still on the wanted list of the Federal Government despite the Presidency headed by President Bola Tinubu.”
The statement read in part, “Currently I am using my German passport to travel in Europe and other continents and cannot enter the shores of Nigeria, having been declared wanted by security agencies under the leadership of former despotic President Muhammadu Buhari, who handed over a comatose economy to the current government. The order declaring me wanted still remains subsisting under the current government.
“What was my offence? Because I voiced my objection to the incessant killings of farmers, maiming and sexual violation of women perpetrated by Fulani herders against South West communities, most especially in agrarian settlements during the inglorious regime of the immediate past President Buhari.”
“Where was Hajia Naja’atu Mohammed when Boko Haram terrorists and Fulani herders were wreaking havoc on Nigerians in the North and South West through mindless killings during administration of Buhari? During this period, an Islamic cleric, Sheik Abubakar Gumi, who was the negotiator between the Federal Government and terrorist groups made millions of dollars.
“It’s because Tinubu’s government has resolved to tackle insurgency headlong rather than employing the service of the likes of Gumi as a negotiator that prompted spurious claims and mischievous propaganda by this woman. But she should desist from bringing my name into her diatribe.”
