A group of youths, under the aegis of Yoruba Afenifere Youths Organisation of Nigeria, have passed a vote of no confidence in Pa Ayo Adebanjo, the leader of the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere.
The group advised Adebanjo to “kindly step down as the acting leader of Afenifere in the interest of the organisation and the entire Yoruba race.”
In a communique, the group condemned the suspension of two national officers of Afenifere by Adebanjo. This, they said, was done without the approval of the leader of the group, Pa Reuben Fasoranti. “We noted, sadly too, that rather than rally the Yoruba people behind their son, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, now the President-elect of Nigeria, to emerge as President of this great country, Baba Adebanjo campaigned vigorously against him, and even after his well-deserving and hard-earned victory through a credible presidential election, he still wants the Presidency out of Yoruba land.
