Sunday Igboho Says: “I Never Worked For Tinubu, Adedibu”
By Sola Adeyemi
Sunday Igboho, a lead character in the Oyo farmers/herders crisis whose house in Ibadan was set ablaze by suspected Fulani herders, has denied working for Bola Tinubu Or late Lamidi Adedibu, while speaking to journalists in Ibadan on Tuesday.
Recall that Mr. Femi Ojodu, Special Adviser to President Muhamadu Buhari, had on his Facebook page made the allegation that Bola Tinubu prevailed on Sunday Igboho not to disrupt the Ekiti State rerun election after he was paid by some politicians to disrupt the election, and that he also worked for late Ibadan Strongman, Lamidi Adedibu.
Igboho explained that: “I have been hearing reports about a man called Femi Ojudu. I don’t know this man. He said the late Chief (Lamidi) Adedibu contracted me in 2009 and we all know that Adedibu died in 2008. I think the man should undergo a mental test because the late Chief Adedibu did not train me for any job and I was not close to the late Adedibu.
“I have a relationship with my father, Senator Rasheed Ladoja, and I have never betrayed him in the years I was his follower.
“I don’t know Femi Ojodu and I didn’t have any business with him. All what he said are lies.”
Igboho who has been in the middle of the Herders/Farmers crisis in Oyo State said politicians are politicising the issue to tarnish his image.
“Politicians are now politicising the herdsmen issue to tarnish my image so as to weaken me.
“Any politician who knows he paid me money to do all that I am doing should come out openly before the whole world. I was not bankrolled by anyone. My paramount concern is for peace to reign in the land of my forefathers.”
