The Yoruba Nation Solidarity Rally train arrived Akure, the Ondo State capital, yesterday as hundreds of agitators trooped to the city from the neighbouring Southwest states.
The city stood still for several hours, as agitators embarked on a rally while awaiting the arrival of Chief Sunday Adeyemo (a.k.a Sunday Igboho)
The agitators, who converged under the aegis of Ilana Omo Oodua, chanted various solidarity songs to show their seriousness about the mission.
They began the rally at Isikan Roundabout, Akure, where they moved to some other parts of the ancient town peacefully.
The agitators comprised women, youths, okada riders, traders and artisans among others. They were in attires inscribed with ‘Omo Oduduwa ni mi’.
