The Alana of Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide and Leader of Yoruba Nation Self-Determination Struggle, Prof Banji Akintoye, has dissolved the World Executive Council of Ilana Omo Oodua.
The dissolution takes immediate effect.
Addressing members of the Worldwide Executive Council at a meeting yesterday, Akintoye said a Worldwide Interim Management Council would be constituted shortly to retool, reinvent and rebrand the apex body of the Yoruba Nation Agitation for the optimal gain of the Yoruba.
He said the Interim Management Council would work with him to conduct a new election that would usher in a new Worldwide Executive Council.
The dissolution, according to Akintoye, excludes the ex-officios who are homeland states and diaspora coordinators.
Akintoye thanked members of the dissolved executive council for their contributions to the development of Yorubaland and wished them best of luck in their future endeavours, a statement by the group’s Communications Director, Maxwell Adeleye, said.
