The Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has assured that Yoruba Nation activist Sunday Igboho’s prosecution in both Nigeria and Benin Republic is receiving attentions from various quarters in the South-west without making a noise about it.
“These are difficult times for the South-West Governors, but people are working behind the scenes,” Sanwo-Olu said. “Many people were taking efforts “quietly and secretly.”.
The governor made this known on Saturday while addressing newsmen at the Polling Unit 019 Ward 08, Ikoyi II, where he cast his vote during the Local Government/Council Areas election on Saturday.
When asked why there was presumed silence of the governors on the arrest of Igboho, he replied, “These are very difficult times for all of us. I can assure you that people are working behind the scenes.
“At occasions like this, it’s not by how many Press people you call. I’m aware that a lot of people have responses that they are doing quietly and privately and it doesn’t have to be a public conversation.”
The Court De’appal De Cotonou, Benin Republic, where Igboho and his wife, Ropo, were arraigned on Thursday, ordered the wife to be released while Igboho was ordered to be returned to detention by the court.
Sunday Igboho was awaiting his fate at the Cour De’appal De Cotonou, Benin Republic, after being arraigned by the country’s authorities for immigration-related offenses.
Igboho was apprehended by Benin Republic authorities at Cardinal Bernardin International Airport in Cotonou on Monday night while attempting to fly from the country to Germany.
