It is in public knowledge that NINAS stood with and still stands with Chief Sunday Adeyemo Igboho as Chief Igboho publicly aligned himself with the NINAS Self-Determination Campaign as evidenced in this video [please see below] of March 17, 2021.
This March 17, 2021 video clip is being shared as a part of our response to the propaganda and calumny by some mischief makers In Yorubaland who fabricated the tale that NINAS called Chief Sunday Igboho a terrorist. That is an outlandish lie being peddled by the same people who concocted the falsehood of how ₦350 million was given by VP Yemi Osinbajo to persons associated with NINAS.
For the avoidance of doubt, from the point of the State Security attack in the Ibadan home of Chief Sunday Igboho, to his unfortunate arrest and incarceration in Benin Republic, NINAS did everything in its power to stand with Chief Igboho, publicly and privately, and so the news of his recent release from detention was also received with joy and relief by NINAS.
NINAS congratulates all the Yoruba people who worked together to achieve that release and assures all that the march by the Indigenous Nationalities of Nigeria to Self-Determination and Freedom is on course and unstoppable.
Let it also be known that claims by the same malcontents that the Yoruba people were called “idiots” and described as “stupid” by Mr Tony Nnadi, are egregious falsehoods and the fabrication of the fringe elements driving the serial campaign of calumny which already featured a number of self-evident lies.
On the contrary, Mr Tony Nnadi has over the last 25 years, (from the NADECO and PRONACO eras) worked very closely and harmoniously with several illustrious Yoruba Elders and compatriots. Those Yoruba Elders and compatriots including Chief Ayo Adebanjo, Bishop Bolanle Gbonigi, Prof Wole Soyinka, Gen Akinrinade, Dr Amos Akingba, Chief Ayo Opadokun, Prof Ogundowole, Dr Biyi Oyefule and a long list of others, would scoff at anyone who would suggest that Tony Nnadi called the Yoruba “stupid” or described the Yoruba as “idiots”.
Let us please remain vigilant as the enemies of the focused, strategy-driven and decisive, Self-Determination Campaign being led by NINAS are throwing everything they can find into the fray, but it is too late in the day to halt the Dismantling of the failed Lugardian Experiment of 1914 the World calls “Nigeria”.
Here is the video:
Dateline Ibadan, March 17, 2021.
From left, Otunba Shade Olukoya, Chief Sunday Igboho, Prof Banji Akintoye and Tony Nnadi at the NINAS World Press Conference at the Expiration of the 90-Day Notice of Constitutional Grievances to the Federal Government of Nigeria, Issued December 16, 2020 via the NINAS Constitutional Force Majeure Proclamation. Chief Sunday Igboho in his comments expressly declared complete support for the Self-Determination Campaign being driven by NINAS, chaired at the time by Prof Banji Akintoye of Ilana Omo Oodua.
The fact that the NINAS Movement is getting success and is getting known DESPITE the compromised mainstream news and media not reporting about the NINAS propositions is making those seeking relevance for themselves, plus those who do not want Ethnic Nations to regain their Self-Determination --- to seek to use lies to confuse Nigerians. That is what we are seeing. This is how they also tried (unsuccessfully) to discredit the Civil Rights Movement and Dr King in 1960s America.
