A Yoruba secessionist group and the umbrella body of Yoruba self-determination groups, Ilana Omo Oodua, has said it will hold a one-million march rally in the South-West states.
The group via a Twitter post on Tuesday, March 23, 2021, urged interested Yoruba indigenes to get the shirts, caps and flags in preparation for the march.
But in a statement issued on Monday, the group said the rally, earlier scheduled for Wednesday, had been postponed due to the need to have consultations with all Yoruba socio-cultural and self-determination groups on Saturday, according to Sahara Reporters.
The statement read, “Ilana Omo Oodua postpones Pro-Yoruba Nation's One Million March. The much-awaited one million march being organised across the Yoruba speaking states has been postponed until further notice.
“Ilana Omo Oduduwa, the umbrella body of Yoruba self-determination groups within and beyond Nigeria, has declared.
“The rally is being planned to hold in the cities of Ikeja, Ibadan, Akure, Ado-Ekiti, Osogbo, Abeokuta, Kabba and Offa in Lagos, Oyo, Ondo, Akure, Ado-Ekiti, Osun, Ogun, Kogi and Kwara states respectively on Wednesday, 24th March to drum up support for the actualisation of the sovereignty of Yoruba Nation.
