Its rally at Mapo in Ibadan drew representatives of Itsekiri in Delta, Yoruba in Edo and Kwara as well as other southwestern states. Secretary of the movement, Akin Adejumo, represented by Banji Akintoye at the rally, said, “It is only a lunatic that will be doing things in the same way and expect a different result. Yoruba people are not lunatic and that is why we want a better future for our children. Nigeria is not working. Another leader, Basorun Kunle Adesokan, said, “We can no longer tolerate this undemocratic government again. Nigeria is not working and it won’t work. We want our Odu’a nation and we must achieve it,” he said.
