Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, more widely known as Sunday Igboho has stated that agitation for Yoruba Nation could only be achieved through dialogue and not war.
In a statement issued on Thursday and signed on his behalf by Yomi Aliu, his lead counsel, Igboho said agittaors for nationhood should learn from developments in Ukraine where neighbours Russia is waging war with the East European country, as well as events in the South East of Nigeria.
Igboho, implored the agitators for self determination, especially his kinsmen to embrace dialogue without heating up the polity. He said their ambition could be achieved without firing a bullet as he used to preach at rallies.
He thanked Chief Dele Momodu, a former presidential aspirant for being the only Yorubaman of note that came to visit him in Cotonou prison. He expressed gratitude to the President of the Republic of Benin, President Talon, for releasing him from prison with a view to uniting him with members of his immediate family, albeit only in Cotonou for the time being.
