Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Igboho, has declared that he will not be compelled to endorse any candidate in the 2027 presidential election, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, or activist politician Omoyele Sowore.
Igboho made this known while reacting to recent remarks by Sowore, who accused him of engaging in what he described as “transactional politics and activism.”
Dismissing the allegation, Igboho maintained that his struggle has always been rooted in the pursuit of self-determination for the Yoruba people, rather than political alignment with any individual or group. He stressed that his position remains independent and guided by the interests of his movement.
The agitator further stated that he would not succumb to pressure from any quarters to support political ambitions that do not align with his principles, reiterating his commitment to his cause.
His comments come amid growing political realignments and early positioning ahead of the 2027 general elections, with key political figures and activists already drawing battle lines over future endorsements and alliances.
Observers note that Igboho’s stance may influence political calculations in the South-West region, where his voice carries significant weight among certain groups.
