The association’s national president, Baba Othman Ngelzarma, signed a press release that condemned Igboho’s remarks as illegal and treasonous, as he supported the creation of the Oduduwa nation.

MACBAN appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the relevant security agencies to act quickly against Igboho, referring to the example of Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest and detention for a similar crime.
“We call on the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) and relevant security agencies to arrest and prosecute Sunday Igboho for making this unlawful statement that amounts to treason because he is asking for the actualisation of Oduduwa nation.
“His statements are unlawful. If Nnamdi Kanu will be held behind bars for a similar offence, we see no reason why Sunday Igboho will be allowed to go scot-free.”
