A former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has said the endorsement of the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, by the acting leader of Afrnifere, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, was out of hatred for former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu, IgbereTV reports
This is amid the seeming split in the Pan-Yoruba socio-political group, emanating from the recent endorsement of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Tinubu, by the leader of the group, Pa Reuben Fasoranti.
Adebanjo had explained that the support of the group for the former Anambra State Governor was based on the principles of equity and fairness.
This development has resulted in a lot of furore and divisions in the group.
Fani-Kayode, who reacted to the development in a Facebook post on Sunday, questioned Pa Adebanjo’s endorsement of Obi.
The APC chieftain said the decision of the Yoruba leader to rally support for Obi would threaten the unity in the organization and southern region of the country.
He also described Obi as contemptuous of Yoruba people and berated his chances in 2023, adding, that his endorsement by Pa Adebanjo would heighten the chances of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the region next year
