The leader of the pan-Yoruba sociopolitical group, Afenifere, Ayo Adebanjo, on Saturday, advised the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, to withdraw his candidacy for his counterpart in Labour Party, Peter Obi.
“We are behind Obi, leaders of progressive movement are behind Obi. Those fraudsters parading themselves as Yoruba do not love the country. Yorubas do not take things that belong to other tribes. A Yoruba has been President before.”
Addressing the youths at a town hall meeting held within the premises of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Obi described Nigeria as a failed state and one of the most unsecured countries in the world “which is no longer in control of your territory”. “So, let presidential candidates come out and show Nigerians what they have done in the past before aspiring to govern the country.
