Sunday IgbohoSunday Igboho
Yoruba nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, was on Tuesday seen wearing a fez cap bearing the logo of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Igboho attended the first Ramadan lecture organised by the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Rasheed Ladoja, following the monarch’s coronation.
Bellnews reports that in a now-viral video circulating on social media, Igboho was seen exchanging pleasantries with the monarch and the guest lecturer, the Chief Imam of Offa, Sheikh Muyideen Salmon.
The activist’s choice of headgear, clearly branded with the APC logo, drew attention from attendees and online observers alike.
However, Sunday Igboho appeared relaxed in the footage as he greeted dignitaries at the event, which was attended by religious leaders, traditional rulers and other prominent figures.
Social Media Reactions
The video has since generated widespread reactions across social media platforms, with many users expressing surprise at the development.
Some commentators referenced the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, drawing comparisons between the two separatist figures and their perceived political trajectories.
While some users interpreted Igboho’s appearance as a possible shift in political alignment, others cautioned against reading too much meaning into the viral clip.
See some of the reactions below on.
“@OduduwaR – Sunday Igboho shamelessly gallivanting with APC cap on. You can’t be fighting for Yoruba freedom and still dine with the people who impoverished the same Yoruba people. Ko possible.
@Brainsing7 – Sunday Igboho self don collect money forget about him calling. What a pity.
@Diokparaigbo – Sunday Igboho, the acclaimed Yoruba Oduduwa freedom fighter, gallivanting with an APC cap on, associating with this type of individuals for freedom fighting is just like building your castle in the air.
@EmagnetTim – You just have to respect Nnamdi Kanu, just look at Sunday Igboho.
Freedom f!ghter isonu.
@spoiltkid – How can you claim to be a freedom fighter and then turn around to support the very APC system that has brought nothing but tears to the people? Watching Sunday Igboho return from exile only to join APC and sing praises to Tinubu is a shameful display of belly politics. Bikonu, why is it always the same pattern and the same Yoruba?
You cannot be a “defender” of the people and support the same evil group of men.
This is exactly why the Southeast remains different. We in the Southeast know the only true solution is a clean break.
We don’t want “pardon” or “mercy” from a broken union. We want our sovereignty.
We are not the same people. We do not have the same stomach for betrayal.
@iamade040482 – Truth is uncomfortable: same agitation, different methods, different consequences.
Many people argue that the government “freed Sunday Igboho but jailed Nnamdi Kanu.” But that narrative ignores the strategic and legal differences between both cases. You dont have to agree with me. But if you disagree, bring a stronger argument, rooted in facts, not just emotions. Lets elevate the conversation.
Both men rose from regional dissatisfaction. Both tapped into deep frustrations about insecurity and marginalization.
Both attracted passionate supporters. But their operational styles were not identical.
Sunday Igboho’s agitation was largely framed around regional security issues in the South-West. When state pressure increased, he adjusted his strategy, fought his case largely through legal channels abroad, and avoided prolonged public confrontation with Nigeria’s judicial system, and Nigeria state. He listened to wise counsel of some elders, even jailed outside Nigeria just for his safety. And eventually free from what was probably originally designed to kpai him by Buhari administration.
Nnamdi Kanu’s approach was more confrontational and international in scope. His broadcasts, rhetoric against state institutions, and courtroom posture created a continuous direct clash with federal authority. Whether one agrees with him or not, sustained institutional confrontation carries heavier legal and political consequences.
This isn’t about ethnicity. It isn’t about who shouted louder.
It’s about strategy, tone, and engagement with power structures.
Agitation is one thing. How you manage it, legally, politically, and publicly, often determines the outcome.
Passion starts movements. Discipline sustains them. Strategy protects them. That’s the part many people don’t want to discuss.
@Mr_Samuel01 – Inasmuch as I have decided not to talk about politics anymore, sometimes when I see people’s posts, I just feel so bad about how shallow they think. First of all Sunday igboho was never a freedom fighter and if he was at any point, Sunday Igboho does not represent the Yorubas.
So because a person decide to do what you felt like is abomination then you have to drag his tribe along with him? When Cubana chief priest, Obi Cubana and some big influential Igbo men joined the city boy movement, did you see any other tribe abuse them or drag them and their tribe together?
You guys should just have sense. This is democracy everyone’s got the right to choose whoever they want. If you have issues with a person go and go and drag that person down not involve all his tribe along.
@Everypolitics1 – Sunday Igboho from exile fighter yelling Yoruba Nation to rocking APC green cap at Oyo congress today.
Exile sweet, but APC pardon sweeter? Or na Tinubu forgiveness + 2027 votes him dey chase?
Nnamdi Kanu still dey DSS cell o… Uneven justice loading. RT if this one shock you, quote your take
