'Regretful' Remorseful Yoruba warrior apologised for insulting Ooni, FFK claims

A former minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has claimed that the Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, fondly called Sunday Igboho, has apologised for insulting the paramount and referred monarch, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, over what he considered as the latter’s lackadaisical attitude towards the evil deeds of Fulani herdsmen in Yorubaland.

Recall that it was reported how Sunday Igboho lambasted the monarch, the governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, and national leader of All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for looking away and taking bribes from the Nigerian president, Mohammadu Buhari, to keep mum over the issue.

In a post by FFK on his official Twitter handle, the People’s Democratic Party chieftain stated that Igboho was remorseful and claimed he made the unguarded comments in the heat of the moment.

“I just spoke with Sunday Igboho and he confirmed to me that what he said about our revered Ooni of Ife was said in the heat of the moment.

“He expressed his regrets and I was relieved to hear that. To err is human and to forgive is divine. I appeal to Kabiyesi to forgive him.

“For the record let me state clearly and categorically that NO Ooni of Ife, whether living or dead, has EVER been a slave of the Fulani and neither will they ever be.

“I can also confirm that my friend and brother Seyi Makinde, the Governor of Oyo state, is a deeply courageous individual who would never bow before anyone let alone be a slave to the Fulani.

“We in the South West must remain united in our quest for liberty and justice and in the face of the common enemy and we must move forward as one.

“No-one can dispute the fact that Sunday has fought hard and done well.
