The suspended National Publicity Secretary of the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, Jare Ajayi, has disclosed the group never gave him and the suspended National Organising Secretary, Abagun Omololu, a chance to react to the allegations levelled against them by the leaders of the group.

In his response, on Tuesday, Ajayi decried the action taken by the group, adding that it failed to stand by its ethos and regulations.

“I, and to the best of my knowledge, Abagun Kole Omololu, the National Organising Secretary, were never issued a query let alone be asked to face any disciplinary committee. It is a big pity that an organization founded on principles and that is guided by ethos and regulations could take seeming disciplinary actions against any member – not to talk of officials – without giving them an opportunity to respond to whatever allegations the leaders have against them.”

He linked his suspension to two recent occassions he had issued press statements which some senior members of the group did not agree with, Vanguard reports.

He mentioned the two releases to include naira cash scarcity affecting the nation and a congratulatory message to the President-elect, Bola Tinubu.

“In the heat of the sufferings being experienced by Nigerians in accessing their monies in the banks, I called on the federal government and the Central Bank of Nigeria to extend the deadline for the circulation of both the old and the new Naira notes by at least three months. This was early in February before the pronouncement by the Supreme Court. A top officer of Afenifere called me to say that what I asked the government to do was not the position of the organization. I asked him what the position was, the senior officer told me that the position will be stated after a meeting that was being contemplated. I said that people were suffering hence the statement I issued. And thereafter, the position of the organization on the issue was never made known to me.

“The second occasion was when some members called me to express their displeasure over the statement issued to congratulate the President-elect, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, after his electoral victory. Those who called me said that since Mr. Peter Obi and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar were still contesting Asiwaju’s victory, it was wrong to congratulate him,.” he said.

The PUNCH reports that the duo were suspended indefinitely over alleged misconduct.

According to the communique issued at the end of the Afenifere meeting held at the residence of the leader of the group, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, at Isanya Ogbo Ogun State on Tuesday, the group “observed the uncouth activities and unauthorised statements in its name and to the constant denigration of the organisation, by Jare Ajayi, the National Publicity Secretary and Abagun Kole Omololu the National Organising Committee.”

Brendaniel:


So a Yoruba man cannot protect the interest of Yorubas without supporting Bola Tinubu?

back to the topic

The topic and the content are very misleading, The leaders of Afenifere suspended you both for attacking Iwuayanwu, here you are talking about query, CBN and Tinubu, what a misleading content and response

Question

Didn't they suspend you guys?

Was it not because of ethnic issue you guys got suspended?

Like I said earlier on, these are people who place tribe over rational reasoning...

Naira20:
And you think your wish can affect Pa Ayo?

Tinubu is on his own and will NEVER rule Nigeria.

The earlier you know this, the better for you

When you see how very bad Pa Adebanjo has derailed, you will appreciate that prayer of "Ki ale sanwa ju owuro lo."

When I hear and see people say stolen mandate, stolen mandate. We will recover our stolen mandate, I just get confused. Who told you that a mandate was stolen? What is Mandate? Mandate has to do with the will of the people, and we know who still has the mandate of the people. Tinubu is not with the mandate of the people, he is with the certificate of return issued to him by Mahmood Yakubu.
Peter Obi still has the people's mandate and you can see it even in the streets. Tinubu does not have a mandate but he will be mandated to return the certificate he took via bribery. BTW, what's with Tinubu and certificate issues? No wonder he defended Buhari during the certificate issue, saying even if it's NEPA certificate Buhari must be president. Now we can see where it led us.
Peter Obi won the 25th election and should be given his certificate of return,at least he has verifiable certificates from primary school to university.
