Maharaj ji also told the governors to appoint Igboho as the leader of Amotekun in the region.

The Federal Government of Nigeria has received £4,214,017 loot linked to former Delta State Governor, James Ibori.
Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami made the confirmation on Thursday.
His spokesman, Umar Gwandu, in a statement said the designated government was credited with the Naira equivalent on May 10.
Malami signed the Memorandum of Understanding for the repatriation of the Ibori loot on behalf of the federal government.
The AGF said the repatriation was in recognition of Nigeria’s reputation earned through management of recovered stolen public funds.
Ibori was Governor from May 29, 1999 to May 29, 2007. In April 2012, he received a 13-year jail sentence after admitting fraud of nearly £50million.
He pleaded guilty two months earlier, to conspiracy to launder funds, substantive counts of money laundering and one count of obtaining money transfer by deception and fraud.
Judge Anthony Pitts told Southwark Crown Court in London in the light of other matters, aid Ibori’s loot “may be in excess of £200 million, it is difficult to tell”.
The Metropolitan Police estimated that Ibori embezzled £157 million of state money.
“James Ibori’s sentence sends a strong and important message to those who seek to use Britain as a refuge for their crimes”, said Andrew Mitchell, then UK International Development Secretary.

Nigerian comedienne, Princess, has reacted after Baba Ijesha was being granted bail of N500K on Monday, May 17, 2021. Yesterday, it was reported that Nollywood actor, Baba Ijesha, had been granted bail of N500,000.
Taking to her Instagram page, Princess, reacted with a sign of hope after Baba Ijesha was released on bail. According to reports, he was granted bail on the ground of health issues.
Princess reacted by saying that she will definitely win, even though it might not be immediately, but she will definitely win. She wrote:
“I will win, not immediately.
But definitely.
On God 🙏 #Goddoesnotsleep #Godloveschildren #Saynotochilddefilement #Saynotorape #Saysomethingifyouseesomething.”
Nigerian Activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as, Sunday Igboho, has sent loud warning to the Federal government of Nigeria over the killings being done on the people of Biafra. His warning comes with a show of support for Biafrans or the people of Biafra.
On May 17, Sunday Igboho’s spokesman, Olayomi Koiki, revealed the statement from Sunday Igboho during a Facebook live video.
The statement reads:
“We will like to inform the Federal government that any attack on the South East, it’s an attack on the Yorubas.
Biafran people have been targeted by the Nigerian army.
Any further attack on them, we would have no other option to support our brothers and sisters from the Biafran land.”
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said he remains focused on operating in his present office and has not declared any interest in the 2023 presidential race.
Osinbajo made the clarification yesterday when he said his attention had been drawn to a website calling on Nigerians to join a volunteer group mobilising support for him ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
In a statement issued by his media aide, Laolu Akande, the vice president said details of the website and the solicitation of the group are currently trending on WhatsApp with a suggestion that he had “quietly” declared interest in the 2023 election.
He said the Office of the Vice President is not in any way connected to this website or the group behind it, and considers such an enterprise an unnecessary distraction.
Akande said, “Prof. Osinbajo has not declared any interest whatsoever in the 2023 election, but he is rather focused on working in his capacity as vice president in the current administration to address all the compelling issues in the country and concerns of Nigerians, including finding effective and lasting solutions to the security challenges.
“Therefore, we ask that people desist from such unhelpful permutations while we all deal together with the challenges confronting us as Nigerians, and resolve them for the benefit of our people, and peace and prosperity in the land,” he said.
Former Presidential Aspirant, Adamu Garba, has said that cattle have more economic value than the entire oil and gas reserve in Southern Nigeria.
Garba said this in reaction to the advice given by the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders’ Association of Nigeria, Bauchi State chapter, which required its members to vacate the 17 states in Southern Nigeria.
MACBAN gave the advice following a ban on open grazing issued by governors of the region after a meeting in Asaba, Delta State.
Reacting, Garba said on Twitter, “I perfectly agree with this proposal. All Fulani present in Southern Nigeria should come back. We shall use the cattle, process the resources, and sell all over the world as finished goods.
“Cattle have more economic value than the entire oil and gas reserve we have in Nigeria. Our major stakeholders in the North must admit cows as business opportunities not just culture & invest heavily to bring #CowToCurrency to reality. Cows alone can solve all Northern problems.
“The job opportunities, the manufacturing centers, & the connection to global hubs of demands for the best cattle meats can open more doors and set for the liberation of Northern Nigeria from cheap and somewhat, useless oil assets. We must invest in harvesting the value of cattle.
“A litter of Cow at N350 is much more than the value of a liter of oil at N145. With over 20 million cows, take 1/3 as milk-producing female on average of 5 liters a day, we’ll have almost N12Bn/day from cow milk. That’s about N700M/state/day. About N21Bn/State/Month.
“That is much higher than the Monthly Allocation the largest state receives in the North. Again, each cow can generate a minimum of 3 Jobs. Rearing, Slaughtering, Processing, marketing, Selling, and management. 5M cows =15M jobs. I marvel at the laziness of Northern Governors.
“Northern Governors think awarding contracts for building roads, taking their cuts is all they need for themselves. Doing so has subjected the North to condescension and dehumanization from some elements in the South. The time is now for them to wake up to our potentials.
“It is becoming increasingly clear that the 2023 election is a game between cattle states and non-cattle states. Let’s be blunt about this. If Northern leaders do not wake up to this urgent reality, the target will not just be the cow, but the cow harboring states and their adherents.”
