Emeritus Professor Banji Akintoye, the leader of the umbrella body of Yoruba self-determination groups, Ilana Omo Odua, has boosted that nobody can stop the agitation for Yoruba self-determination.
Akintoye stated this while expressing happiness over peaceful rally held in Abeokuta, Ogun state capital, to drum up support for the actualisation of the Yoruba Nation.
The police had barred the group from holding any rally in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital, but members defied the order and came out in their numbers on Saturday.
Akintoye has promised that the struggle for Yoruba self-determination will remain peaceful and orderly under his leadership.
He said threatening the agitators or attempting to quash their rights is cowardly.
“We are marching on, and like valiant soldiers without a dint of fear. I make bold to put it to the Nigerian state that no one can stop an idea whose time has come,” Akintoye said.
He also called on all Yoruba self-determination groups to begin to hold rallies in their localities every weekend.
