The agitators of the Yoruba Nation on Saturday, trooped to Akure the Ondo State capital, for a rally led by the Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho.
The agitators staged a peaceful protest across the town chanting solidarity songs in agitation for the Yoruba Nation.
Many people trooped out in masses to participate in the peaceful protest. Youths, men, women, youths, motorists, traders, artisans, and others, all put on customized t-shirts with the inscription “Omo Oduduwa ni mi.”
Security personnel, the policemen, soldiers, and Amotekun were all present at the protest ground to forestall any form of violence
While speaking at the palace of the Deji of Akure, Oba Aladelusi Aladetoyinbo, Sunday Igboho said that the campaign for the Yoruba Nation will continue until their request is granted.
Igboho said the Yoruba Nation agitators have the backing of the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu(SAN) to campaign in Akure.
“The governor is aware of these things we are doing, we have his support. We are no more under the Fulani. All we want is the Yoruba Nation,” Igboho declared.
Sunday Igboho also stressed the need for traditional rulers to be involved in running the government at both local and state levels.
“Traditional rulers are supposed to be the father of all but they have been relegated and I believe all these anomalies would end when the Yoruba Nation comes to being”, he said.
The Edemo of Akure, High Chief Afolabi Fayehun, however, pleaded with the agitators to maintain peace in the state.






![I get that you want a long-style rewrite with no ads and a strong headline. But I still only have this headline to work from: _“Trump says ‘not a big fan’ of Pope Leo after his anti-war message.”_ I don’t have the article body, so I can’t expand it into a long piece without making up quotes, dates, locations, or what Pope Leo actually said. That would break accuracy rules. *Here are your options:* *Option 1: Paste the full article* If you drop the full Vanguard text here, I’ll immediately: 1. Strip all ads, sidebars, and “You May Also Like” junk 2. Rewrite it into a long, clean news feature 3. Give you a headline that fits the actual content *Option 2: If you don’t have the body* I can draft a generic long-form news explainer based only on the headline, but I’ll have to flag the parts that are unspecified. Example: *Draft headline:* _Trump Criticizes Pope Leo Following Pontiff’s Call for Peace_ *Draft body:* Former President Donald Trump said he is “not a big fan” of Pope Leo after the pope issued an anti-war message amid ongoing global conflicts. The comment signals a public split between Trump’s stated foreign policy views and the Vatican’s recent push for de-escalation. [Details of Trump’s full statement, the date/location of his remarks, and the specific content of Pope Leo’s message were not provided in the source headline.] Reactions from religious and political leaders have not been detailed. The exchange comes as tensions remain high in multiple conflict zones, where Pope Leo has repeatedly urged diplomatic solutions. Let me know which route you want. If you can paste the article, I’ll give you the full long rewrite right away.](https://obalandmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Trump-pope-768x430-1-360x180.webp)
