Yoruba nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has stated that he will not be forced to endorse the 2027 presidential bids of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, or Omoyele Sowore.
Igboho’s statement came in response to comments by activist-politician Omoyele Sowore, who accused him of engaging in “transactional politics and activism.”
The remarks follow a viral video in which Sowore criticized what he described as “transactional politics” among certain regional agitators and influencers.
Here’s a polished rephrasing of your passage:
Sowore accused some activists of partnering with political figures for personal or material gain. He specifically claimed that Sunday Igboho was supporting President Bola Tinubu’s reelection campaign, describing his approach as “Amala politics.”
In response, Igboho’s spokesman, Olayomi Koiki, dismissed the allegation as an inconsequential rant unworthy of public attention.
The statement read:
“We strongly reject the characterization of Igboho’s activism as transactional.
“Such a narrow perspective misrepresents our focus on promoting effective grassroots security in the South-West and across Nigeria.
“How many protests did Sowore organize to advocate for my freedom? His claim of fighting for the masses contradicts reports of his alleged daily lodging costs of N450,000 at a well-known Lagos hotel.
“I cannot be forced to endorse political figures like Peter Obi or Atiku Abubakar, nor align with Sowore’s political agenda.
“I reserve the right to make independent political decisions based on the security and collective interests of the Yoruba people.”
