Acting leader of Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo on Wednesday insisted that he remains the leader of the group.
Pa Reuben Fasoranti who previously handed over the leadership to Ayo Adebanjo had said that the meeting of the socio-political organisation will henceforth hold in Akure, capital of Ondo State and that the leaders of the group will no longer converge on Isoya Ogbo, Ijebu home of Chief Ayo Adebanjo.He also rejected the insinuations that he was paid to endorse Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), saying that he has been a man of principle all his life.
However when contacted by DAILY INDEPENDENT, Adebanjo who laughed at Fasoranti’s statement said they await to see who will attend any Afenifere meeting in Akure, home of Pa Fasoranti.
“No problem. Let them hold the meetings in Akure and see the number of people that will attend”.
“I am the leader of Afenifere.They are just trying to cause confusion and I won’t help them to do that. If he says people should not come”.
While Pa Fasoranti endorsed Tinubu as the choice of Afenifere, Adebanjo gave his blessings to Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP).
