 Yoruba Nation: UK Govt didn’t endorse Sunday Igboho’s petition – Nigeria govt


The Federal Government on Tuesday stated that the petition by Mr Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho calling for the UK to consider the Yoruba Nation Agitation was not endorsed by the UK government.

Recall that Igboho, had on Saturday submitted a petition to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, to consider the creation of a Yoruba nation.

The movement is seeking the immediate intervention of the UK Prime Minister and his government in their agitation to set up a country that will be predominantly owned by indigenous Yoruba people.

A statement issued by Amb Eche Abu-Obe, Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,said following media reports on the petition, it invited the British High Commissioner in Abuja was invited to shed light on the issue.

“During the meeting , the High Commissioner noted with concern that the matter was over blown, indicating that the media reports were highly misleading.

“Furthermore, the High Commissioner informed that he was aware of the letter being delivered but added that it was merely an established practice of allowing the delivery of letters and petitions to No 10.

“It was not endorsed by any agency of the UK government nor the UK Parliamentary Petitions Committee.

“The UK government typically does not concern itself with petitions concerning the sovereign affairs of another country,” Abu-Obe said.

Abu-Obe quoted the high commissioner to have informed that such petitions had been rejected by the UK Parliamentary Petitions Committee and the UK Government in the past.

He further agreed to continue liaising with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as needed, while reiterating the importance of the bilateral relations between the United Kingdom and Nigeria.
