Why Afenifere supports Peter Obi for 2023 presidency — Ayo Adebanjo

Leader of the Pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, said, yesterday, that the Yoruba body will support the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr. Peter Obi, in the 2023 poll.

He spoke to Vangaurd, saying the decision to support Obi was based on equity and fairness, adding that it would bring about peace in the country.

Adebanjo said, “Yes we have endorsed Peter Obi. My reason for supporting him is because based on equity and justice the presidency should go to the South-East. That is what I have been saying. I have not changed my position on that. If you want peace and tranquility in this country; if you want the country to be united, we must do the right thing by ensuring the presidency goes to the South-East. I have no reason to change my stand.”
