Senator Dayo Adeyeye, National Chairman of South West Agenda for Asiwaju 2023 (SWAGA), has stated that Afenifere, the Pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, is unanimous in its support for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s (APC) candidacy for president, IgbereTV reports
This was announced by Adeyeye on Thursday in Abuja.
According to him, despite claims to the contrary in some quarters, Tinubu’s candidacy has the overwhelming support of the majority of Afenifere members.
“I have respect for Adebanjo. He is my leader in Afenifere. As of today, the leader of Afenifere, for clarity is Reuben Fasoranti.
“There is no faction in Afenifere. What Fasoranti has merely done was that since he is advanced in age, he appointed someone to act on his behalf in the interim and that person is Ayo Adebanjo.
“If a decision is going to be taken by Afenifere, it is not a one-man show.
“What I read in the papers was a personal decision of Adebanjo and not the opinion of Afenifere,” he said.
He further said that “whatever Adebanjo said was not a statement issued at the end of a meeting of the organisation, it was his personal decision.
“It is not a fact that Afenifere is divided or there is factionalisation.
“Ninety-nine per cent of the Afeniferes are behind Tinubu,” he said.
The politician further said that the 2023 general elections would be very interesting
