Igboho, speaking on next action, said the borders that were closed will be reopened, adding that the Yoruba people are no longer interested in being part of Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are we being slaves in our fatherland? Why are we being enslaved in our own land?\u201d He asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs it stands now, we are no longer under Nigeria. If they don\u2019t intervene, it will go beyond control. We have gone beyond the point where we keep quiet; we are no longer scared to voice out.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not safe anywhere, we can\u2019t sleep in peace, we can\u2019t travel in peace, what have we done? Are we slaves? We don\u2019t do wrong by existing, we only chose the wrong leaders and we are saying enough is enough!<\/p>\n
\u201cTincan in Lagos, Apapa, the directors are Fulani men. The two ports we have, the controllers are Fulanis. We don\u2019t want them anymore!<\/p>\n
\u201cThe borders that NIGERIAN Government closed, we are opening it all, we are no longer interested in being part of Nigeria!<\/p>\n
\u201cAll our Kings are solidly behind us, any of them that want to deny it should make a press conference, let\u2019s see.<\/p>\n
\u201cStart coming home, it is time! We have suffered enough, let\u2019s not fight among each other, let\u2019s unite for a common cause, it is time to come home. That\u2019s all I have to say.\u201d<\/p>\n
