There appears to be a crack within the ranks of the Yoruba Self-Determination Group, Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, as the Deputy President of the group, Wale Adeniran has resigned from his position.
Adeniran’s resignation comes on the heels of the resignation of Maxwell Adeleye, the spokesperson of the group.
Adeniran who is also a former Commissioner for Education in Osun State, in a statement issued on Monday, said though he is resigning from his role as an executive of the group, but he will remain a member of the freedom-fighting organisation.
Adeniran said he is resigning based on principle, adding that the reason for his resignation is between him and Banji Akintoye, the leader of the group.
“Dear professor Banji Akintoye, as a matter of principle, I hereby give notice of my resignation from the position of Deputy Alana, Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, with effect from Sunday, November 6th, 2022,” he said.
“However, given my irrevocable commitment to the realisation of an Independent and Sovereign Yoruba Nation State, separate from Nigeria, I hereby affirm that I remain a dedicated and staunch member of our freedom-fighting organization, Ilana Omo Oduduwa.”
