The Nation Newspaper Adams, Igboho face-off deepens despite Ooni’s peace move
The rift between the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, and Yoruba Nation activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo has deepened. Adams and Igboho are threatening each other with legal actions and demanding for public apologies.
He also demanded that within 48hours, the Aare should admit in two national publications that he falsely accused Igboho or be ready to pay a damage of N10billion.He said the allegations were deliberate efforts by some individuals to drag his name in the mud. Adams said: “The reason for my silence in the midst of the various legal and media infractions by Igboho and Ayinde was not because I am a coward, but because of the initial interventions of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, other prominent Obas and several other important personalities in Yorubaland.“But with the ongoing lies and aspersions against my person, I think it is time for me to come out open and set the record straight.
“In the said audio, I said it repeatedly that though it was very difficult to believe, there’s an unconfirmed rumour allegedly linking Igboho to the murder of the late Minister of Justice, Chief Bola Ige. “Before now, precisely in early March, the same people had bombarded the media space about my heritage. The same people had claimed I was of Tapa, Nupe extraction. In another breath, they alleged that I requested the sum of N20billion from the organisers of the Yoruba Security Conference, held in Ile Ife, Osun state on 29 February, 2024.
“The picture has now become clearer that they resorted to the audio clip blackmail after they failed in their earlier attempt to rubbish my name.
