The newly installed Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun, Alli Okunmade II, yesterday, charged all Yoruba self-determination agitating groups not to be tired of the struggle, until victory is achieved .
Olubadan spoke from his residence while hosting groups led by Tokunbo Ajasin to the Yoruba Monarch in Ibadan
Oba Balogun, who acknowledged the various challenges confronting the people, noted that the situation could weigh down the activists.
He said: “Tough times never last, only tough people do. There’s nothing too much to be done to ensure that one’s goal is achieved and I promise you my support for the attainment of your cherished goal.”
Earlier, Mr Gbenga Awosode, who spoke on behalf of the group, said it came to plead with the monarch to use his rich experience to forge unity among his colleague Obas in Yorubaland.
He said: “Kabiyesi, we want the unity of purpose among Yoruba Obas and we want you to do your bit in that regard. This is the time for our revered fathers to speak with one voice on issues that touch our common interest and with your esteemed pedigree, this is achievable.”
The clamor for Yoruba nation has since reduced since the arrest of now released Chief Sunday Adeyemo , aka Igboho .
