As Emeritus Leader of the Yoruba socio-political group Pa Reuben Fasoranti rejected the position of Afenifere under the leadership of Pa Ayo Adebanjo that Mr. Peter Obi won the February 25 election that produced Tinubu, the division within the organization over the incoming president, Bola Tinubu, grew yesterday.
The Adebanjo group had previously stated that under the Afenifere banner, no one should congratulate the president-elect.
After a special general meeting, the group insisted that “His Excellency Peter Gregory Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, won the said election and we thus support his decision challenging the contrary declaration by the INEC.” The meeting was held at Adebanjo’s country estate in Isanya-Ogbo, Ogun State.
