With a tone both triumphant and reflective, Igboho mocks the late president, referencing past attempts on his life: “Buhari that wanted to kill me many years ago… now he is gone.” He then expresses profound relief and faith, urging viewers to “please listen,” as he praises God for delivering him from danger.
Sunday Igboho has long claimed that the Buhari administration targeted him, even accusing the former president of involvement in his family’s tragedies .
In the video, Igboho leverages his ordeal to reinforce his spiritual convictions, showcasing a common blend of political messaging and religious reverence in his public discourse.
The footage marks his latest media appearance, reaffirming his presence in local and national debates around Yoruba self-determination and security.
1. Continued influence in Yoruba nationalism: Igboho remains a central figure in the ongoing push for Yoruba identity and autonomy.
2. Religious framing of political struggle: His invocation of God highlights how spiritual language is often used to legitimize political claims.
3. Fuel for national discourse: The mockery of Buhari, despite the former president’s death, keeps alive debates over past state responses to Igboho’s activism.
