The leader of the apex body of the Yoruba self-determination struggle, Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, Prof. Banji Akintoye, has stepped down from his position.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that Akintoye\u2019s resignation followed alleged infighting among members of the self-determination group.<\/p>\n

But in a statement on Thursday announcing the decision of Akintoye<\/a>, the group\u2019s General Secretary, Tunde Amusat, said the former Yoruba Nation leader handed the baton of leadership to his former Deputy, Prof. Wale Adeniran.<\/p>\n

Amusat claimed Akintoye was handed over the mantle of leadership to Adeniran, citing old age and a weakened body system as his reasons.<\/p>\n

According to Amusat, the worldwide congress of Ilana Omo Oodua held on December 17th, 2022 accepted Akintoye\u2019s resignation and affirmed Adeniran as the new leader of the group.<\/p>\n

He added that the proposed amendment to the constitution affirming Adeniran\u2019s position as Chairman will be tabled at the next worldwide congress before the end of this year for ratification by registered members.<\/p>\n

\u201cAkintoye extolled the principled virtues of Adeniran, commending him for his consistent patience against all forms of blackmail, slanders and defamatory affirmations which had been unleashed against him in the past by those he (Akintoye) described as \u201cdisgruntled elements\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdeniran is a retired Assistant Professor of African Studies and the pioneer Commissioner for Education in Osun State. He hails from Ile-Ife,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
