Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Igboho, has declared that he won’t be compelled to endorse the 2027 presidential ambition of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, or Omoyele Sowore.

Igboho remarked while dismissing remarks by activist politician Omoyele Sowore that he engaged in “transactional politics and activism.”

He was reacting to a viral video of Sowore, criticizing what he described as “transactional politics” among some regional agitators and influencers.

Sowore accused them of aligning with political actors for personal or material benefit.

He accused Igboho of aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s reelection bid, stressing that he engages in “Amala politics.”

However, in a statement by his spokesman, Olayomi Koiki, Igboho described the comment as an inconsequential rant that should be ignored by the public.

The statement reads: “We strongly reject the characterisation of Igboho’s activism as transactional.

“Such a myopic position misrepresents the intent and focus of our agitation on effective grassroots security in the South-West and Nigeria as a whole.

“How many protests did Sowore organise to push for my freedom? Sowore’s claim of fighting for the masses contradicts his alleged daily lodging expenses of N450,000 at a popular Lagos hotel.

“I cannot be compelled to endorse political figures such as Peter Obi or Atiku Abubakar, or even align with Sowore’s political platform.

“I have the right to make independent political decisions based on the security and collective interests of the Yoruba people.”
