Igboho: FG not sincere in tackling agitators’ demands-Afenifere

The pan Yoruba sociopolitical organisation, Afenifere, yesterday observed that the intensified effort of the Federal Government of Nigeria to extradite Mr. Sunday Adeyemo (a.k.a. Sunday Igboho) from Benin Republic was a clear indication that the government was not totally committed to genuinely tackling the challenges thrown up by those who are agitating for self determination in the country.

The assertion was contained in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Jare Ajayi, on behalf of the group, who also described the plan to increase the prices of fuel as “another indication of how insensitive the present administration is as far as the welfare of Nigerians is concerned”.

According to Afenifere, were the government to be sincere with its recent declaration of wanting to settle the agitators’ issues politically, it would not be pursuing the path of extradition that it is bent on doing presently. “Not only that, the government would obey the verdict given by a High Court in Ibadan on September 17, 2021 by paying the ₦20.5 billion as ordered, rather than going on an appeal.
