Oduduwa right activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Igboho, on Tuesday lambasted and labelled the Ooni of Ife Enitan Ogunwusi; APC national leader, Bola Tinubu and the Oluwo of Iwo, Abdulrasheed Akanbi as Fulani slaves.
Igboho also alleged that the Ooni has refused to support the ongoing struggle to liberate the Yoruba from Fulanis after visiting Buhari in Aso Rock, where he (Ooni) was allegedly greased in palms with dollars.
Speaking during a virtual town hall meeting, Igboho said the Ooni is now shifting grounds against Yoruba interest on the expulsion of Fulani herdsmen in yorubaland.
A video obtained by TNG on the said meeting, slated for 11:00pm on Tuesday had more than 1000 participants from Nigeria and the Diaspora.

Speaking in the course of the meeting, Igboho briefed the participants that he just arrived Oyo town to see Lamidi Adeyemi, the Alaafin of Oyo, for a meeting. He said the monarch is in supporter of his struggle.
However, he begged the participants to query Ooni of Ife for refusing to ell Buhari the truth on the the troubling trend of killer herdsmen invasion of South-west region.
He said: “When Ooni visited Buhari, the president received him by standing up but he said something I don’t like. That is why the Alaafin called me. He wants to tackle what Ooni said.”
“Ooni should be able to tell Buhari about what Yoruba want. But he has collected dollars from Buhari. He called me but I don’t want to see him. Only Alaafin is supporting us and he has written a letter to the president. Ooni disappointed me. Politicians are with him,” he added.
Igboho also criticised Abdulrasheed Akanbi, the Oluwo f Iwo, for calling himself an Emir. He said some Yoruba leaders have turned themselves into slaves of the ethnic tribe that oppresses their people because of money.
“The Oluwo will wear turban and start calling himself an Emir, our people should call him and tell him to stop what he is doing. Our leaders are lazy and slaves to Fulanis. They visit Abuja to collect money, we will attack them and destroy their property. Ooni should be dealt with. I am annoyed. Why should we be afraid of the crown they (Yoruba monarchs)wear?
“Tinubu and other Yoruba politicians are Fulani slaves. We need not be afraid. I have not collected any money from anyone. I am a full Yoruba man and I will not allow Fulani people to enslave me, we do not look or behave alike in any way. The herders should go. Makinde is also a slave to the herders because of second term ambition,” Igboho said”
Igboho had issued a seven-day ultimatum to herders in Ibarapa area of Oyo state, blaming them for kidnapping, killings, destruction of farmland and insecurity in the state.
After confronting the herders in Ibarapa with some youths in the area at the expiration of the ultimatum, he moved to Ogun state on Monday and was received by thousands of youths.
