Reactions as Sunday Igboho rocks APC cap at event

Yoruba nation activist Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, was seen wearing a fez cap branded with the logo of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at a social event on Tuesday

Igboho attended the first Ramadan lecture hosted by the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rasheed Ladoja, since his coronation. In a video that has now gone viral, the activist was spotted greeting the monarch and the event’s guest lecturer, Chief Imam of Offa, Sheikh Muyideen Salmon, while sporting the APC-branded cap.

The clip has sparked debates across social media, with many users drawing comparisons between Igboho and separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu, questioning the political implications of his appearance.

A Twitter user, #Jaythrilli, wrote, “Sunday Igboho shamelessly gallivanting with an APC cap on. You can’t be fighting for Yoruba freedom and still dine with the people who impoverished the same Yoruba people. Reason I don’t rate him at all.”

Another user, #Felixherbt, commented, “For those who still don’t understand what Mazi Nnamdi is fighting for, soon and very soon, you will all understand, but it will be too late. Today, Sunday Igboho is jumping around with the APC cartel. Remember that they promised Nnamdi Kanu a political position to win him over; he rejected it. My respect for MNK has doubled.”

User #Admiral_Cyborg added, “From freeing the Yoruba from the claws of the Fulani to kissing the ring. I present to you, Sunday Igboho! This is why Kanu is still in Sokoto.”

On Facebook, Samuel Olafusi questioned, “Wait, is that an APC cap on his head? If you really join, you become a saint. Why has Nnamdi Kanu not been released? They got punished for the same reasons. Nigeria is truly divided, and we live in a transitional democracy.”

Some, however, offered a more pragmatic view. #daddyfemzy wrote, “You can’t really blame this guy. He was in an asylum, declared wanted by Buhari, dead or alive. The recent APC caucus brokered his return home courtesy of Ladoja. What do you expect? Let’s be practical. If you were him, wouldn’t you?”

The video has reignited discussions about the roles of Igboho and Kanu in Nigeria’s separatist movements and the intersection of activism and politics.
