As Fasoranti steps down, Afenifere names Adebanjo acting national leader

Ninety-five-year-old Pa Reuben Fasoranti has stepped down as national leader of pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere.

Deputy leader of the group, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, has been named acting national leader.

The former Financial Secretary of the group, Oba Oladipo Olaitan, the Alaago of Kajola Ago, Atakumosa East Council Area, Ilesa, Osun State was named as the group’s new deputy leader.

Fasoranti was made the leader of the group about 13 years ago.

He said he resigned based on old age so that the association would be better reinvigorated to address challenges facing the Yoruba race.
