Popular Yoruba freedom fighter, Sunday Adeyemo who is also known as Sunday Igboho, has tendered unreserved apology to Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi over his verbal attack on the monarch.
Sunday Igboho, had during a virtual meeting, accused the Ooni of betraying the Yoruba race, saying he visited President Muhammadu Buhari to collect dollars.
Igboho had however come under heavy criticism by Nigerians on Wednesday for calling Oba Ogunwusi unprintable names.
But in a video on Wednesday evening, Sunday Igboho said he had spoken with the monarch on phone and had begged him for forgiveness.
“I have called our father, the Ooni of Ife and I have apologised to him. When I said those things, I was carried away by my emotions. The killing of my people by Fulani herdsmen and the way our fathers in Yoruba land are handling the issue is giving me great concern.
“I am a Yoruba man and I know it is not in our culture to insult the elders. I have called the Kabiyesi and I have apologised to him. You can call him to confirm.
“Once again, I want to beg our royal father to forgive me. It was a slip of tongue,” Sunday Igboho said.
