The Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE) has called on southwest governors and other Yoruba stakeholders to support Iba Gani Adams, Aare OnaKakanfo, and Sunday Adeyemo (a.k.a. Sunday Igboho) in their bid to protect the Yoruba territory against external aggression.
According to The Guardian, the Secretary-General of the group, Dr Kunle Olajide, made the call during an interview in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital.
Legit.ng gathers that Olajide said the governors must realise that they did not have control over federal security outfits, hence the need to support the local groups headed by Iba Adams, Igboho and others.

The YCE scribe described Igboho as the Yoruba messiah, claiming that the entire region would have been taken over by criminal herders if not for his intervention.
