Expressing his gratitude to President Talon of Benin Republic and members of his cabinet, Igboho added, “My gratitude goes to my heroic father, Professor Banji Akintoye, and Professor Wole Soyinka for their support in the course of the struggle.

But we need more of your support to deliver our lands from slavery because Yoruba land is ours.”

Special thanks to Ilana Omo Oodua, Canada and Igbega Omo Oodua USA and Canada,” Igboho concluded, recognizing the immense contribution of various groups in the struggle for the Yoruba cause.
