Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has declared unwavering support for President Bola Tinubu. The Yoruba nation activist made the remarks on Sunday during a visit to the All Progressives Congress Youth Network in Accra, Ghana.
Igboho vowed to back Tinubu throughout his time in office. He cited gratitude for his pardon and return from exile as key reasons.
“I will continue to appreciate and support the government of Bola Tinubu for forgiving me and restoring me back from a lonely exile,” Igboho stated.
He added, “I will support him for eight years because I am not an ingrate like his former commissioner called Aregbesola.”
Igboho detailed Aregbesola’s political history under Tinubu. “Tinubu made Aregbesola Commissioner, removed Oyinlola as Governor and put Aregbesola and later Aregbesola became federal minister but see what the ingrate is saying about his benefactor today,” he said.
The activist urged against ingratitude in politics. “May we never be ingrates in our lives,” Igboho remarked. He referenced past leaders’ tenures.
“Obasanjo spent 8 years, Buhari spent 8 years, even Jonathan spent about 6 years too. Tinubu will complete his 8 years by God’s grace, nothing will stop him,” he affirmed.
The statement comes amid ongoing tensions within Yoruba political circles. Aregbesola, now with the African Democratic Congress, has criticised aspects of the Tinubu administration.
Reactions on X (formerly Twitter) reflect divided opinions. Some users praised Igboho’s stance on loyalty, while others recalled his past criticisms of Tinubu and questioned his consistency.
Igboho’s support ties to broader security efforts. He has received approval to mobilise networks against insecurity in the Southwest, crediting the current administration.
This development highlights shifting alliances among former agitators. Critics view Igboho’s position as a departure from Yoruba self-determination advocacy.
Supporters argue it reflects pragmatic focus on regional stability and personal gratitude. The visit to Accra underscores growing APC outreach in West Africa.
Observers watch how these remarks influence youth and activist networks.
