Ibadan, the capital city of Oyo State has been flooded with posters for the proposed Yoruba nation, Oduduwa Republic.
365Daily gathered that the group behind the posters is being sponsored by Koikimedia, a company owned by Sunday Igboho’s spokesman Olayomi Olakunle Koiki.
One of the descriptions on the poster captioned: ‘Support Yoruba Referendum Now’.
365Daily recall that a group also posted the image of a proposed currency for the Yoruba nation on its Twitter handle @OduduwaRepublic, on Sunday, 21 March 2021.
The tweet read: “Oduduwa National Currency shall be called ‘FADAKA’ Meaning Silver .. or short as just ‘FAD’. Here is a 20 Fadaka Sample Banknote.”
Recall also that Yoruba Historian, Banji Akintoye alongside Sunday Adeyemo popularly called Sunday Igboho, in a recent viral video, declared the sovereignty of the Yoruba nation.
Akintoye and Igboho, among other Yoruba leaders stated that the Yoruba nation can be independent and yet, thrive.
Professor Akintoye said the most important thing for the Yoruba nation is to learn to work towards its sovereignty.
According to him, this is not a time to discuss issues surrounding restructuring, resource control or a new constitution but rather to secede from Nigeria.
