The daughter of popular Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde, Dami, has condemned people for donating money to Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho.
Naija News had earlier reported that Igboho’s supporters set up a Gofundme page for the activist to raise the sum of £100,000 (N51.8m) for him to buy buses to help in the movement of his men in bid to flush out killer herdsmen.
The fundraiser, which was initiated by Maureen Badejo, a blogger and activist based in the United Kingdom, has so far garnered £14, 824 (7.6m) with over 446 donations made.
Dami who is a lawyer called on Nigerians to desist from raising money for Igboho.
According to her, Igboho was an active participant in the last Ife-Modakeke crisis, where lots of lives were lost.
The lawyer wrote, “Anybody donating money from any part of the world in order to set Nigeria on fire will never know peace. It took us a lot to get here, please don’t take us back, don’t kill my dreams because of your own ignorance. Every media establishment that repeatedly calls Sunday Igboho a ‘Yoruba activist’ is playing its part to cause ethnic crises in the South-West in order to extract political value from it. Every one of them.”
“I am 100 per cent Yoruba but I will never support anyone that wants to cause war, the Igbo man is my brother, the Hausa man is my brother too. As a student of history, I know the cost of the last Ife-Modakeke crisis, where this Sunday Igboho was said to be an active participant. All those interviewing him and amplifying the war he is calling for should be subjects of interest to the DSS (Department of State Services) – if the DSS still knows its duties. In my life, I do not support nonsense, go and read section 43 of the 1999 constitution. One Nigeria, the whole country belongs to all of us.”
In a related development, the Ooni of Ife, Enitan Ogunwusi, has reacted to the statement credited to Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho describing him as Fulani slave.
The first-class monarch, on Thursday, described the comment of Igboho as irresponsible.
