Afenifere youth wing demands Adebanjo’s resignation over anti-Tinubu campaign

The Yoruba Afenifere Youths Organisation of Nigeria has passed a vote of no confidence in the leader of the socio-political group, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, and asked him to resign from his position.

The group accused Adebanjo of abandoning the “defence of the interest of the Yoruba people” by remaining anti-Bola Tinubu, the president-elect.

It gave this position in a communiqué signed by the National Youth Leader, Eric Oluwole.

It asked Adebanjo to provide “substantial reasons for attacking and maligning” the president-elect, Bola Tinubu.

It stated, “A vote of no confidence is hereby passed on the acting leader of Afenifere, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, forthwith and he should stop parading himself as leader/acting leader of Afenifere.”

The group also condemned the removal of two national officers of Afenifere — Jare Ajayi, and Abagun Kole Omololu.

“But we noted sadly that Afenifere began to derail from this long-head philosophy as soon as our father, Baba Ayo Adebanjo, took up the position of acting leader,” the organisation said.

It stated, “He abandoned the uncompromising pursuit and defence of the interest of the Yoruba people for whatever reasons.

“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 Yorubaland.”
