Provisional Government of the Democratic Republic of the Yoruba Announces Historic One Million Freedom March to Control

Ibadan, Oyo Jun 28, 2026 (Issuewire.com)  - The Provisional Government of the Democratic Republic of the Yoruba (D.R.Y.), under the visionary leadership of Provisional President His Excellency Prof. Mobolaji Olawale Akinola Omokore, has officially announced the mobilization for the "One Million Yoruba Freedom March." This massive, strictly peaceful civic action marks the next critical phase in the Republic’s transition from a provisional administration to a fully functioning, on-the-ground sovereign government.

The primary objective of the historic march is the peaceful reclamation of the national secretariat. By physically occupying the administrative headquarters, the Provisional Government intends to formally resume full executive, legislative, and administrative duties, transitioning the apparatus of the state into active governance.

A Peaceful Reclamation of Sovereign Duties
The Democratic Republic of the Yoruba emphasizes that the upcoming march is not a protest, but a lawful and organized resumption of national duties. For decades, the administrative centers of the Yoruba ancestral homeland have been utilized under a subordinate regional framework. The One Million Freedom March will peacefully transition these spaces into the rightful headquarters of the sovereign Republic.

"We are not marching to protest; we are marching to work," stated H.E. Prof. Mobolaji Olawale Akinola Omokore, Provisional President of the Democratic Republic of the Yoruba. "For thousands of years, the Yoruba people have demonstrated an unparalleled capacity for self-governance and civilization. The One Million Freedom March is the peaceful, disciplined, and lawful resumption of our national duties. We are returning to our secretariat to govern our people and secure our future."

Rooted in Ancient History and International Law
The D.R.Y.’s assertion of statehood is not a sudden political development, but the culmination of a continuous historical journey. The Republic’s foundation is rooted in the ancient civilization of Ile-Ife (C. 500 BC), the expansion of the great Yoruba Kingdoms, the military and administrative zenith of the Oyo Empire, and the developmental triumphs of the old Western Region in the 1950s and 1960s.

Legally, the Republic relies on the declaratory theory of international law and the criteria set forth in the Montevideo Convention. The Democratic Republic of the Yoruba was formally declared on November 20, 2022, and its institutional framework was solidified with the official inauguration of the Provisional Government on April 12, 2024.

Global Diaspora Mobilization and Civic Participation
The success of the One Million Yoruba Freedom March relies on the unity of the Indigenous Yoruba people both within the ancestral homeland and across the global diaspora. The D.R.Y. Ministry of Diaspora Affairs has launched a comprehensive digital registration and coordination portal to manage logistics, transportation, and state-level mobilization.
