The Pan-Yoruba Socio-political Group, Afenifere yesterday suspended the governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Senator Iyiola Omisore, in the last election of Osun State.

Omisore, according to Afenifere, was sanctioned for allegedly violating the directive of the the socio-political group, which affected the outcome of Osun State governorship election.The suspension of Omosore was contained in the communique issued at the end of the General Assembly of Afenifere held at the Ijapo, Akure residence of its leader, Chief Reuben Fasoranti.

The SDP candidate was reported to have supported that All Progressives Congress (APC), candidate, Mr. Gboyega Oyetola, during the run-off election in Osun State.

But in his swift response to the suspension, Omisore argued that Afenifere by-passed the principle of fair hearing by saying that he acted at variance in his decision to coalesced with All Progressives Congress (APC) at the rerun election.

Omisore noted that SDP passed a resolution to coalesce with APC in Osun, stressing that he acted in consonance with the party’s position.

Omisore added that Osun SDP is not affiliate of Afenifere in any form.

He also stated that he was not given any directives, adding that that it might be oversight on the part of Afenifere.

Afenifere’s communique was read by Chief Korede Duyile, who was the chairman of the communique drafting committee.

Other issues discussed by the Afenifere were President Muhammadu Buhari’s certificate saga, the Nigeria’s debt profile, the state of insecurity and killings in the country, the killing of Shiite members and restructuring.

While reviewing the controversy over the academic qualifications of President Buhari for the office of the President of Nigeria, Afenifere said that the controversy touches at the core of the moral fibre of the country.

In view of the confusion, Afenifere said the onus on Buhari was to produce the document so as to retain his claim of being a man of integrity and being eligible to contest the 2019 elections .

Afenifere also expressed concerns over the spate of general insecurity in the country in spite of security being one of the three cardinal claims of focus by the Buhari administration.

“The country has been troubled by herdsmen terrors in different communities and kidnappings across the country as well as in the abduction and killing of Agom Adara, a pregnant woman in Ondo State, the Zamfara twins Gen. Alkali and with Leah Sharibu still in the custody of Boko Haram, among many others .

“We have also witnessed how Kaduna State whose Governor, Mallam Nasiru el Rufai once boasted of paying off criminals, has become virtually ungovernable with the recent Kasuwan Magani massacre that led to the deaths of no fewer than 100 persons and the attendant spill over crisis.

“We are worried that there has been no coordinated response on the part of the federal government to these needless losses of precious lives just as it continues to ignore calls for the overhaul of the country ‘s security architecture with a restructured polity to guarantee greater security of lives and property”, Afenifere stated.

The group condemned the extreme and barbaric use of force against members of Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) in Abuja.

“There can be no justification for the level of blood-letting that has been carried out against the sect whose only crime has been protesting the continued detention of their leader in spite of different court orders to release him from detention.

“The act of disobedience of court orders is totally reprehensible and confirms the statement by the US Ambassador to Nigeria that perversion of institutions, which abuse of court orders typifies, is the worst form of corruption.

“We, therefore, called on the federal government to release the leader of the Shiites as ordered by different courts and ensure that the security personnel responsible for the mass killings of his supporters are brought to book.

“We must not forget how extrajudicial killing of the founder of Boko Haram turned the group into a massive terror machine which we have been unable to contain and we are opening yet another front”, the group added.

All these socio cultural groups should steer clear of partisan politics. They should serve as an umbrella body for all Yorubas irrespective of their political leanings

Mumu people.

Is Afenifere a political party?

Thank you ooooo, thankyou..

Please take your time to read the article and you would see the valid points raised by Afenifere concerning the nation and its predicaments.

By being overtly partisan Afenifere (a supposedly socio-cultural group) has completely lost its relevance.

One man down......

We know it's a typo.
Kindly edit it as soon as you can.
Do have a nice day ahead Saint.

This is afenifere sef
Never trust any Yoruba sect that has a saint name their agenda is always the opposite

Who's Afenifere Please?
Party that doesn't have control over the west, talking about politics... I laugh in Swahili

but is he supports PDP they will hail him. And they will say they are not partisan. omisore is a politician so he should be freed. Why cant they suspend some of their members that are promoting ATIKU/OBI ticket? Very useless organisation that just use politics loopholes to make money for themselves. I have never seen their relevance in politics but only to scam scam and scam just like what they did to jonathan and after collecting his money, they ran into hiding.

Ohhoo!!!
Afenifere is now run by IPOB yoots from the Republic of Biafria, Nnamdi Kanu has finally infiltrated our brownroof republic, we will not recognise Afenifere anymore
Cc butterflyle0, modath, cillicmarin, sarrki, buhariguy, singlewahala, ngeneukwenu

Is Afenifere now PDP extension?

I thought Afenifere is apolitical...All parties involved in the election were their subjects, while take sides with a political party when you are suppose to be in the side of good governance by mobilizing to put whoever wins to do what the masses want. That is how to be an elder!!! A good exemple is the Oni who refused to romance any candidate cause they are all his subjects.
Well Afenifere lost direction the moment Pa Abraham Adesanya died and Bola Ige mudered...they no longer represent the Yorubas at large but only fighting for thier pocket, Falae a good exemple

When has it become the duty of Afenifere to decide for a politician which party to support?
Is the APC candidate not a Yoruba man and by extension, a potential member of the group?
Let them not stretch their relevance too much.

Omisore is a disgrace to sw

RockHard:
By being oveetly partisan Afenifere has completely lost its relevance.

What did you expect? 90% of Afenifere leaders are under probe for collecting money from Dasuki
They are a group of elderly statemen who are solely reliance on bribe from federal government,something they are not getting anymore

when money speaks

is afenifere an extension of PDP Party?

Naza25:
All these social cultural groups should steer clear of partisan politics. They should serve as an umbrella body for all Yorubas irrespective of their political leanings

Yes they should.serve as an umbrella for all

Atiku 2019

Afenifere is a chapter of PDP.

What does omisore have to gain from u guys. He has advanced politically by joining the winning team APC while u guys are still mourning.
I don’t know when it has become offense to support the party or person of ur choice.

Daylight robbery

Thought they said they were non partisan. What happened?

Truly, under Buhari, perversion of institutions, which abuse of court orders typifies, is the worst form of corruption as the U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria have said.

Zai baba is a danger to democracy and sane society. Nigerians beware.
