Mr Fasoranti, who has been criticised after receiving the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, on Sunday in his residence in Akure, said he has also not ordered that the group’s meeting should revert to his residence.
Mr Adebanjo, who had openly criticised the visit, where members of the group endorsed the APC candidate, had alleged that Mr Tinubu’s visit was aimed at dividing Afenifere. He had argued that all the regions had had a fair chance of ruling the nation and that it was the turn of the South-east.Mr Fasoranti, in a statement on Thursday by his personal assistant, Adedapo Abiola, said his main concern was “the interest of the Yoruba in the complex political situation in Nigeria.”
“I have Papa’s permission to say that he has not said that Chief Ayo Adebanjo is no longer the acting leader of Afenifere or that all future Afenifere meetings should henceforth be held at his residence in Akure.
