The superior leader of the Pan-Yoruba Socio-Political group, Afenifere, Pa Rueben Fasoranti, has debunked reports where he was quoted to have said that Chief Ayo Adebanjo is no longer the acting leader of Afenifere.
This was contained in a press statement dated November 3, 2022, and signed by his personal assistant, Mr A. Abiola.
Pa Fasoranti added that there was no time when he said that the group’s meeting will be held in his Akure home.
He described the rumor as the handiwork of those who want to polarise Afenifere.
The statement made available to Theliberationnews reads: “It has come to Papa R.F. Fasoranti’s knowledge that some sections of the media, especially the social media, have been ascribing to him false statements designed to cause confusion and polarise Afenifere.
“I have Papa’s permission to say that he has not said that Chief Ayo Adebanjo is no longer the acting leader of Afenifere or that all future Afenifere meetings should henceforth be held at his residence in Akure.
“Papa’s main concern is the interest of the Yoruba in the complex political situation in Nigeria.
“It is also his concern that Afenifere should survive in dignity and remain a purveyor of the interest of the Yoruba race.
“It is hoped that this information will be adequately circulated,” the statement concluded.
