We call on God to deal with Buhari - Afenifere chieftain kicks over Igboho’s arrest

Leader of Afenifere, the Yoruba socio-political group, Ayo Adebanjo, has committed President Buhari into the hands of God. Not impressed at the turn of events on Sunday Igboho's arrest, he called on God to deal with the president for the constant taunting of the agitator.

Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Sunday Igboho was arrested in the Benin Republic on Monday, July 19, while attempting to fly to Germany with his wife.

He was arrested and arraigned before a Beninoise court on Thursday, for being in possession of a fake Benin passport.

In a publication cited on Lindakejisblog, the Federal government has reportedly been planning to extradite him to Nigeria to face more charges.

In an interview with Arise TV, 93-year-old Adebanjo described Igboho current state as a “political prisoner”, adding that the federal government has “no right” to seek his extradition.

"The-power-that-be wants to kill him because he’s leading a popular revolt. Buhari may depend on chariots and everything, but we have God. And we call on our God to deal with Buhari.

He [Igboho] is a political refugee. He didn’t commit any crime here. He didn’t waylaid or kill anybody. He didn’t run away from anybody after committing a crime. He ran for his life because the-power-that-be wants to kill him because of his agitation. Because he’s leading a popular revolt.

When they see the crowd that Igboho is pulling at every meeting, that is what is terrifying them. Can Buhari summon the crowd that Igboho is summoning each time he holds a meeting, even with the fact that he [Buhari] gives money to who will attend the meeting, that is a rented crowd?

You’re looking for somebody’s life, and you ask him to come and surrender himself. Who will do that? He has muzzled everybody: the press can’t talk, and there is a limit to questions that broadcasters can ask now without them closing the station. Keeping everybody quiet. But I tell you, Buhari may depend on chariots and everything, but we have God. And we call on our God to deal with Buhari. Because we are helpless, and he has all the ammunition of power," he said.
