We never knew anyone called Igbogho until the Yoruba media unleashed him and projected him as a freedom fighter.

He immediately started giving Fulanii quit notice in Yoruba land. And because of the numerous sins of the Fulani against our people and our eagerness to have our own nation Biafra, many of our people supported Igbogho including me. That was exactly what the people that unleashed Igbogho wanted.

With this, they used Igbogho to bargain power and got power back to Yoruba after they enjoyed a vice president seat for 8 years. The Fulani wondered what to do. They saw the Yoruba elites supporting Igbogho. These Yoruba elites quickly mounted Amotekum and used all the Yoruba states to pass their existence into law.
On the other hand, the Fulani oligarchs have seen that Igbo elites are against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB and the quest for Biafra. So, there wasn't any fear the Fulani had over Igbo elites. Who will fear a people that brought Operation Python Dance on their people and supported the recruitment of an agent provocateur that has kị̀lled thousands of Igbo people? Such shameless people can be denied the presidency and nothing would happen. You can't support the kị́lling of your people and expect to be respected.
The Yoruba leaders backing the Igbogho they created would be a problem if they were denied the presidency. The only way to stop the Yoruba people from shouting Oduduwa and using Igbogho to rally against Nigeria was to give them the presidency against all odds.

The 2023 election was in favour of Peter Obi. Peter was the right candidate and intelligent with good manifesto, but he was rigged out and given to a drug lord and a certificate forger. Today, this drug lord and certificate forger is now the president. Igbogho was the instrument used to achieve this. The call for Oduduwa Republic was never for secession or division. It was for power bargaining. More than 95% of Yoruba people want to remain in Nigeria provided they take position after the Fulani. And Lagos is given opportunity to house all seaports in Nigeria.

Now that power needs to be cemented, the one that recruited Igbogho has called him for season 2. The Igbogho who has maintained silence since people have been suffering under Tinubu has suddenly found his voice. He again ordered the Fulani to leave Yoruba land just days after the Fulani started calling for a massive protest against Tinubu. Are you getting the point now?

Not as if I support any kind of protest because the Fulani also play the same politics against the Igbo and we won't continue to let them succeed. I read in the news that a northern politician is calling for the government to tackle the marginalisation of Ndi Igbo. Suddenly, the Fulani who always say that ndị Igbo always claim victims of marginalisation are the ones now calling for an end to this same marginalisation of ndị Igbo. Isn't it funny that when they lose power they start using Igbo to gain power?

Some of our people are already rejoicing over the quit notice served to Fulani by Igbogho. For them, Igbogho should be supported, or worse still be ignored. And I ask all of you. Did the Yoruba ignore Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB or Biafra? Did they not use it to push the narrative they wanted? Did they not join in blackmailing you?

Is Igbogho and those using him sincere? Is there any freedom-fighting method that includes fraud and treachery?

Let me conclude with this. Those calling Igbogho a freedom fighter are simply ignorant people.

We've had enough of your false narrative. Igbos should support regionalism if they truly know what they are doing. It's called resource control
