“During the electioneering, when all the parties needed support, and they saw that Yoruba Nation was separate, they reached out to Sunday Igboho.
“He sent his wife, Ropo, to meet with Labour Party chieftains and Peter Obi. He told his wife to inform Obi that Yoruba Nation is ready to work with them. They sent to Igboho through Ropo. He used Yoruba Nation supporters for negotiation,” Okanlomo said in Yoruba.

Why Sunday Igboho "slowed down" on Yoruba Nation agitation

The US-based social media personality added:

“Also, there is a phone conversation leak where Igboho was requesting money from Atiku Abubakar so that Yoruba Nation agitators can work for the PDP. We have the voice notes. If he denies it, I will come on Live and play it.
“Later, he sent some of his allies like Omiyale, Sunday Aro, Shokoti, Awikonko, to the APC to tell them that Yoruba Nation agitators are ready to work with them. Those boys were initially given N5 million. Later, they sent N30 million to Sunday Igboho to share with all Yoruba Nation agitators.

“The money Sunday Igboho received from Lagos state was sent to him via a proxy, an Alfa. I have the evidence.
“He was asked to distribute it among Yoruba Nation agitators. But because he has collected money from APC, PDP, Labour Party, and Yoruba Nation, he went mute about separatist agitation during the election period. That’s the secret.”

Igboho’s camp reacts

When Legit.ng reached out to Olayomi Koiki, the media aide to Igboho, he described the accusations as “complete lies from the pit of hell”.

“Where do all these individuals get such information? Is this with any proof? Also, I don’t even know who this individual is because so many people are just using his name to clout and make money,” Koiki told Legit.ng.

Yoruba Nation and Sunday Igboho’s troubles

Legit.ng recalls that in July 2021, Igboho was arrested in Cotonou, Benin Republic, for alleged falsification of his passport.

Before his arrest, the Department of State Services (DSS) had declared him wanted for allegedly stockpiling weapons in his residence.

The agitator was detained in prison in the Benin Republic but was released in March 2022 to get medical attention on the condition that he would not leave the West African country.
