The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has restated its endorsement of Peter Obi, Presidential candidate of the Labour party (LP) as its choice for the 2023 elections.
The remarks followed a recent statement credited to Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, over the group’s endorsement of Peter Obi.
A statement by the Group read: “The attention of Afenifere has been drawn to the statement credited to Akeredolu on the Afenifere’s endorsement of Obi for the 2023 presidential election. “While we have our respect for Akeredolu and his colleagues of the Southern Governors Forum, which he leads, on their stand that it is only equitable that the next President of Nigeria after eight years of Buhari of Northern Nigeria extraction, should come from the South, we will not lend our support to those who betray that cause for the lucre of vice presidential porridge or those who see equity only from the parochial prism of their ethnic benefits.
