Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The leader of Ilana Omo Oodua, Professor Banji Akintoye, has distanced President Bola Tinubu from the release of Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemi, popularly known as Igboho.<\/p>\n

Akintoye said Tinubu was not instrumental in Igboho\u2019s release from custody in Benin Republic.<\/p>\n

He was reacting to Ohanaeze Ndigbo\u2019s comment that Igboho\u2019s release should be a ground for Nnamdi Kanu, Biafra agitator to regain freedom.<\/p>\n

Ohanaeze had urged Tinubu to order the withdrawal of all charges against Kanu following Igboho\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

However, Akintoye thanked God and the government of Benin Republic for not denying Igboho justice.<\/p>\n

He disclosed this in a statement titled: \u201cPresident Tinubu had no hands in Sunday Igboho\u2019s freedom,\u201d and signed by his spokesperson, Mr Gani Alagbala.<\/p>\n

The statement reads: \u201cThis is imperative in order to correct the wrong impression in some quarters that President Bola Tinubu facilitated the freedom of Chief Sunday Adeyemo in Cotonou last week Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough we will not fault our Igbo brothers, nor criticise them for seeking the freedom for the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu in any way.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, we must set the record straight. The Nigerian authorities and administration under the presidency of Bola Tinubu have got no hands in the release and total freedom of our frontliner, Chief Sunday Adeyemo a.k.a Igboho.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe give the credit to the Almighty God, then the efforts of our leadership in this Yoruba nation struggle supported by well-meaning friends at home and abroad. This had been a tedious and tasking process, but we give glory to God that granted us success in Sunday\u2019s freedom at last.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strongly deny the involvement of any politician or officials of the Nigerian government in all these processes, for simply there was none. Our appreciation again goes to the Republic of Benin government for not denying us justice at last, despite some political pressures.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we wish our Igbo brother Mazi Nnamdi Kanu a quicker release from the Nigeria incarceration.\u201d<\/p>\n
