Afenifere Debunks Endorsing Tinubu For 2023

Afenifere Debunks Endorsing Tinubu For 2023.

 

Interestingly, the South-West based socio-political group, Afenifere, has debunked the widespread rumour that they are supporting the presidential bid of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu.


This is coming on the heels of a viral statement by the leader of South West Agenda, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, purporting that his group secured the support of Afenifere for its candidate during a visit to Pa Reuben Fasoranti, erstwhile Afenifere leader, on Tuesday.

However, Afenifere denied endorsing any candidate in a statement by its Director of Communications, Sola Lawal, titled, ‘Afenifere denies endorsing presidential aspirant’, on Wednesday.

Lawal stated that the group is still mourning the demise of its Publicity Secretary, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, in whose honour the group suspended all engagements.

Lawal also pointed out that 96-year-old Pa Fasoranti had taken a “deserved rest when he formally handed over to Chief Ayo Adebanjo three weeks ago after leading the group for 12 years and so the former couldn’t have spoken for Afenifere during the SWAGA visit to his Akure home.”

The group further said it has “temporarily halted all activities in honour of Odumakin who is still lying in the morgue, cold and lonely”.

“The Adeyeye foray into Afenifere space at this period of huge loss and intense mourning is disrespectful, insensitive, and unwarranted,” Lawal added.

“Being a former Afenifere top-notch and, in fact, Odumakin’s immediate predecessor in office as a spokesperson for Afenifere, Adeyeye should cease all activities and join us in mourning at this trying times.”
