Yoruba Nation self determination group, Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, has approached Federal High Courts sitting in Osogbo and Ado Ekiti, asking for an order directing the Attorney General of the Federation and Independent National Electoral Commission to suspend plans to hold governorship election in Ekiti and Osun state.

Adeleye said the suits filed on behalf of the group by its lawyer, Tolu Babaleye, had as claimants, the leader of Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, Banji Akintoye; his Deputy, Wale Adeniran; an Ado-Ekiti based medical doctor, Chief Bayo Orire; and 15 others. The statement reads in parts, “Without having a ‘Referendum’ which absolutely is an essential part in the process of making a Constitution, the said 1999 Constitution is illegal, invalid and of no effect whatsoever for failing to meet an essential requirement to be qualified as a valid Constitution.
