SUNDAY IGBOHO: The making of a freedom fighter
On
By Clifford Ndujihe, Political Editor
UNTIL Friday, January 15, 2021, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, was arguably an unknown entity outside the South-West zone of Nigeria. Even in the South-West, his popularity was not widespread.
However, all that changed on January 15. No thanks to the recurring herdsmen menace in many parts of the country especially the South-West, Middle-Belt, South-South, and South-East that has left sad and teary tales on the lips of victims.
On that historic January 15, Sunday Igboho and his supporters took the battle to end the ‘Fulani’ herdsmen crisis on their shoulders, thus adding their names to the January 15 stories.

Babafemi Ojudu, special adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on political matters, has revealed the deal a national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu struck with Sunday Adeyemo alias Sunday Igboho in 2009.
Sunday Igboho has been largely involved in the crisis between herdsmen and residents of Ibarapa Local Government Area of Oyo State.
Ojudu said in an article on Monday that Tinubu persuaded Igboho not to interfere with the May 2009 rerun election in Ekiti after learning the Peoples Democratic Party was planning to disrupt the polls.
An Appeal Court in Ilorin had ordered a rerun in some polling units after PDP’s candidate Segun Oni initially defeated Fayemi of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in the 2007 governorship election.
