A popular Yoruba freedom fighter, Sunday Adeyemo, has begged the leading Yoruba monarch for forgiveness over insults he heaped on the monarch, saying that it was a slip of tongue.
Adeyemo, who is popularly known as Sunday Igboho, had during a virtual meeting, accused the Ooni of a sell-out by visiting President Muhammadu Buhari “to collect dollars.”
And in a video clip today, February 3, Sunday Igboho said that he had spoken with the monarch on phone and had begged him for forgiveness.
“I have called our father, the Ooni of Ife and I have apologised to him. When I said those things, I was carried away by my emotions. The killing of my people by Fulani herdsmen and the way our fathers in Yoruba land are handling the issue is giving me great concern.
“I am a Yoruba man and I know it is not in our culture to insult the elders. I have called the Kabiyesi and I have apologised to him. You can call him to confirm.
“Once again, I want to beg our royal father to forgive me. It was a slip of tongue.”
