Afenifere, on Wednesday, said All Progressives Congress chieftain, Bola Tinubu, is not the focal leader of the Yoruba people.

Odumakin spoke on a PUNCH Online interview programme, The Roundtable.

He said the Afenifere has not endorsed Tinubu, the Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, or any non-Yoruba aspirant for the 2023 presidency.

The Afenifere spokesman also claimed that the Serving Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church in Lagos, Pastor Tunde Bakare, still wants to run for president in 2023, adding that the group has not given support to anyone.

The PUNCH had earlier reported that Bakare compared Tinubu to Jephtah in the Bible, saying he fought many battles for the Yoruba and “delivered Lagos State and nearly all the South-West states from the onslaught of the PDP from 1999 to 2007”.

Mixed reactions trailed the message, as many wondered why Bakare, who once spoke against Tinubu turned around to praise him.

Commenting on Wednesday, Odumakin said those who have the cathedral right to express views on the pulpit should be careful of what they say.

“No, there is no doubt that Asiwaju is a leader in Yorubaland but he is not the leader of the Yoruba people,” Odumakin said, adding that, “To say Asiwaju has done more for the Yoruba people is debatable”.

He further stated, “You will not earn our support because you are a Yoruba man but we will examine what you stand for.

“We have not given support to anyone at the moment. We are watching those who are interested in the 2023 presidency including Fayemi, Tinubu, and even Bakare himself and other non-Yoruba people.

“Where each candidate stands on the issue of restructuring and federalism will determine who gets our support.

“Afenifere is not afraid to state our support for any candidate and any party.”

Atiku or any other candidate that PDP puts forward is the person Odumakin and his faction of Afenifere will throw their weight behind. That's for certain.

See, what they are looking for is that Tinubu should come and prostrate for them, and you'll see them endorsing and singing his praise.

They all know Tinubu has better chances than those people but you know, nothing goes for nothing.

All you see here is nothing but ego.

E go do you like film. Ayo Adebanjo's (leader of Odumakin's faction) has already said publicly that he prefers the Presidency go to igbos. In the last election he supported Atiku (PDP). Any realistic person knows that the chances of PDP giving its presidential ticket to an igbo is slim (Ditto APC), and that Atiku or Tambuwal will most likely get it.

Another pointer is the fact that the PDP national chairman Uche Secondus, a southerner, is vying for reelection. And even if he doesn't get it, another southerner would replace him (Wike will see to that), meaning the party's presidential ticket would automatically go to the North as the chairman and presidential candidate can't come from the same zone.

Adebanjo's faction of Afenifere hate Tinubu’s guts and would not endorse him (not that their endorsement carries any weight since they are almost always on the losing side anyway), which implies that they will endorse his opponent in the PDP - - like they did to Atiku/PDP in the last presidential election.

Tinubu does not need the support of Afenifere to contest and win any election.

Odumakin said, adding that, “To say Asiwaju has done more for the Yoruba people is debatable”.
Odumakin is very stûpid. He should put forward his debate and tell us who has done more for the Yoruba people in the last 2 decades. Tax-collecting turncoats.

Tinubu needs the support and cooperation of everyone to win a presidential election including afenifere

Afenifere and Odumakin must note that SW presidency in 2023 is non negotiable.. if they like, let them endorse Atiku or any Igbo PDP presents, they are on their own.

A Yoruba man will emerge president after PMB.

Couldn’t say it any better, perpetual losers afenefere & company.

They should just endorse Osinbajo..even Tinubu should support the good man come 2023.. because he's their best shot. Anybody is a no no
