Kanunta Kanu, younger brother of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has commended leader of the Yoruba Nation agitators, Mr. Sunday Igboho for his recent bold step in submitting a petition to UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer in favour of the establishment of a Yoruba Nation as a separate entity from Nigeria.
Kanunta pointed out that Igboho’s move, devoid of threats and blackmail from those opposed to an independent Yoruba nation, contrasts sharply with the behavior of certain politicians from the Southeast, whom Kanunta accused of engaging in deleterious actions, including the constant abduction of ‘Biafran youths,’ acting in cahoots with the Nigerian Army and the Department of State Services (DSS).
In a post on the social media platform X, Kanunta expressed his frustration, stating, “Sunday Igboho submits a petition to the UK Prime Minister to consider ‘Yoruba Nation’ agitation without any threat. But Southeast politicians are busy kidnapping ‘Biafran youths’ in collaboration with @HQNigerianArmy and @OfficialDSSNG for demanding the same.”
He concluded with a call to action, using the hashtag #FreeMaziNnamdiKanuNow.
It is worth noting that Igboho submitted the petition on behalf of Professor Adebanji Akintoye, the leader of the Yoruba Nation movement.
The movement is calling for the immediate intervention of the UK Prime Minister and his government in their efforts to establish a nation that would predominantly belong to the indigenous Yoruba people.
