APC presidential candidate, Tinubu, splits Afenifere
An elder statesman, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, a leader of the pan-Yoruba group, Afenifere, has accused the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, of splitting the Afenifere in south west Nigeria. Adebanjo on Monday noted that the statement of Tinubu during his visit to a former Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, on Sunday was a plot to divide the Yoruba cultural group.
Adebanjo had in a media interaction declared: “There is nothing going on other than an attempt to split Afenifere to which I will not be a party.
“It is a sort of conspiracy among those who want to see Afenifere divided. They have been on this plan for over a month ago and my members came to me to alert me about it and I said, ‘Don’t talk about it. It would be a diversion.
“All we want now is an election on issues.”
Adebanjo added: “Pa Fasoranti phoned me on Friday that Tinubu had phoned him and that he wanted to come and see him and he wanted to say no. I said no, don’t do that, you are an elder statesman. If he wanted to see you, why not?”
Adebanjo reiterated his stand on power shift to the southeast.
