The man who led Yoruba youth to attack the Fulani leader in his community, Sunday Adeyemo, (popularly known as Sunday Igboho), has hit out at President Buhari’s Special Adviser on Political Matters, Babafemi Ojudu, over his claims that he is a political thug.
Mr Igboho, who spoke with journalists at his home in Ibadan, on Tuesday, said Mr Ojudu lied to have said they met in 2009, in preparation of a rerun election in Ekiti State.
But Speaking on Tuesday, Igboho urged Ojodu to stop peddling falsehood against him, otherwise, he would take legal action against him.
Ojudu had, in a post that went viral on the social media, narrated how a former governor of Lagos State and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, held a secret meeting with Igboho in 2009 ahead of the rerun-election that brought in Dr. Kayode Fayemi as Ekiti State governor.
Ojudu stated that Igboho told Tinubu that he had been paid by the PDP to disrupt the re-run governorship poll.
The presidential aide also said Igboho agreed to meet with them on the condition that the late strongman of Ibadan politics, Alhaji Lamidi Adedibu, who died in 2008, must not know about the meeting.
