Sunday Igboho is widely known in the city of Ibadan.and south western parts of Nigeria. He is a politician and a businessman, whose attention is devoted to human problems and protection of their rights. Even the rich and powerful come to him to ask for advice. If this man wants to talk to influential people, he will open any doors to make the justice done
According to Sunday Igboho,"People don’t know a lot of things about me. The thing I detest the most is oppression: whenever I see that anyone is being oppressed or cheated for being on his right, I defend such people. I say it all the time that anyone who can point out that Sunday Igboho killed someone should come out with the facts. Even at the height of the heated politics between the late Chief LamidiAdedibu and former Governor Rashidi Ladoja in Oyo State, I didn’t kill anyone. The only thing I did was to protect Ladoja and shield him from harm whenever he was to be attacked. As hot as the venue of the Akure, Ondo State primary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was in 2006, I ensured the safety of the former governor. People made moves to buy me over in order to harm Ladoja but I refused. I am a loyal person; I do not betray anyone I am with. Go and ask about me. And let me tell you that it was the Adedibu-Ladoja face-off that made people to shout my name as if they know me. I am a man of peace."
He went further to say that ;"it will be unfair for anyone to judge me based on a story they do not know the full details"
"It was when the crisis occurred and I saw that Modakeke was about to be oppressed that I took up the task. I decided then that if God could give me success in fighting against the oppression of Modakeke, there was nowhere someone would be cheated around me and I won’t rise in the person’s defence. Modakeke people didn’t just get to that place; they didn’t get their 100 years earlier and you just told them to leave your land. The land belongs to God and you would recall that former President Olusegun Obasanjo, in ending the dispute, said that Ile-Ife is the source of all Yoruba and that all Yoruba people could decide to return to live in Ile-Ife."
Sunday went down to memory lane how he came about his nick name 'Sunday Igboho"; said that" people in Yoruba Land tend to give other inhabitants the “names” due to the place they live in. His father was called “Baba Igboho” because he comes from Igboho. As a result, Sunday got the name “Sunday Omo Baba Igboho”. After Sunday’s father moved from Modakeke because of the war, people started calling him Sunday “Igboho”. This name stayed with him even after moving to Ibadan."
Sunday’s career started from being a mechanic and a motorcycle repairer. But God had other plans for him. He guided Sunday into business and helped him meet the right people of great importance to do it well.
He met Governor Lam Adesina when there was petrol scarcity, people had to wait in long queues from dawn to refuel their cars. Sunday was the only person, who has enough courage to resist the soldiers and Adesina’s convoy, who wanted to break the line. Soon, he was called to Lam Adesina to tell the reason for his actions. The main idea of his explanation was that all people were born equal.
Sunday claimed that he inhetited the divine secret to command gun from sky from his father"It is a divine secret from God; I inherited the powers from my fathers."
He went further to say that ,"One can only prosper by a name he is known by; everyone knows me as a hard person and God has answered my prayer through that. I don’t steal. I don’t involve in fraud. I don’t engage in Yahoo Yahoo. No one can say Igboho defrauded him or took his wife. The only thing people know me with is that I defend the defenceless through my hard nature. My name will not scare anyone who has not done anything wrong".
Sunday Igboho,is a happily married man with children and well loved by his people. the name Sunday Igboho reveals a story of a person, who had to experience hardship in life to become a prosperous businessman and politician, who defends people's rights and fight injustice.honoured at a point as Akoni Oodua.
