Dr. Chief Sunday Igboho Delivers Yoruba Nation Petition to UK Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street
London, 12 October 2024 – In a historic moment for the Yoruba Nation Movement, Dr. Chief Sunday Adeyemo, widely known as Igboho, officially delivered a petition to the UK Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street at exactly 14:00 hrs.
This critical petition was submitted on behalf of the Yoruba Nation Movement’s leader, Prof. Adebanji Akintoye. Igboho was accompanied by his spokesman, Olayomi Koiki, Diaspora Youth Leader Prophet Ologunoluwa, the Vice President of Ifelodun Apapo, Fatai Ogunribido (General Secretary of Yoruba World Media), Alhaja Adeyeye, and Paul Odebiyi, both key members of the Yoruba Nation Movement. Their presence underscored the significance of the petition, which represents the collective will of millions of Yoruba people at home and in the diaspora.
The petition calls for international intervention and recognition of the Yoruba Nation’s right to self-determination, highlighting decades of perceived marginalization, political suppression, and cultural erasure within the Nigerian state.
The submission at 10 Downing Street, one of the world’s most recognized political addresses, symbolizes the Yoruba Nation’s desire for global recognition and support.
A Powerful Show of Unity: The Yoruba Nation Rally
The streets of London were flooded with Yoruba sons and daughters, young and old, in a sea of green, white, and blue, the colors of the Yoruba Nation flag.

The event drew crowds from across the UK and Europe, with many traveling from far and wide to take part in this historic moment.
The march was peaceful but deeply symbolic. Chants of “Oduduwa Nation Now!” and “Freedom for the Yoruba!” echoed through the streets as the demonstrators made their way from strategic points in central London to 10 Downing Street. Among the banners displayed were messages calling for the recognition of the Yoruba people’s right to self-governance and an end to what they perceive as systemic oppression in Nigeria.
