Leader of Pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, says he does not believe in the forthcoming 2023 general elections because of the worsening security situations in the country.

He stated this on Friday while featuring on PUNCH Online Interview Programme on the occasion of Nigeria’s 61st Independence Anniversary.

When asked what kind of characteristics the next Nigerian President should possess, Adebanjo said, “I don’t believe in 2023, so don’t waste your time. I don’t believe under the present insecurity situation in the country, killings here, kidnappings there, raping there, we can have an election.”

Scores of police stations and offices of the Independent National Electoral Commission have been burnt in the last couple of months by rampaging hoodlums who attack government structures, especially in Southern Nigeria, where the agitation for secession has been the loudest of recent.

Tinubu, Osinbajo, Osoba, Akande promised restructuring in 2015 but made a U-turn’
The Afenifere leader also lamented that some All Progressives Congress leaders including Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo; Bola Tinubu, Bisi Akande, Olusegun Osoba, amongst others, promised restructuring during the 2015 electioneering but reneged on their promises after the election of Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) as President.

He said, “Even those who came into office advocating federalism like Osinbajo, Tinubu, Osoba, Akande. You remember how they came into office under restructuring, they now say restructuring is not their priority.

“Osinbajo is now telling us that there are many things to restructuring, which one are they talking of. The restructuring they put in the manifesto of APC, which one is that? The restructuring el-Rufai recommended in 2018, which one is that?
The restructuring Buhari agreed with (Tunde) Bakare and he contested election with him in 2011, which one is that? Bakare still says it loud and clear that it is restructuring I agreed with you before I contested election with you.”

Nigeria’s unity negotiable, Afenifere leader slams Buhari
Adebanjo said at 93, he is a very unhappy man because Nigeria’s original Independence constitution, which outlined true federalism and agreed upon by the founding fathers of the country was suspended by the military after the 1966 coup.

The Afenifere leader said that the 1960 Constitution embrace fiscal federalism and encouraged regional autonomy, noting that restructuring is the way forward.

He insisted that the 1999 Constitution foisted on the country by the military is a fraud and there is the need to revisit the law guiding how Nigerians agree to live together.

The nonagenarian said, “How can you say a product of the fraud would amend the fraud?

“They cannot rule us under the rule of the thumb and those of us who fought for democracy will keep quiet? No, it can’t work.

“In 2021, Buhari telling me Nigeria’s constitution is not negotiable? What a balderdash! What an insult! That is not the agreement we made with the founding fathers.

I supported Emeka Ihedioha and he won the Imo state governorship race before Buhari removed him in a questionable way through the demented supreme court judge

Today, I am supporting Whitemoney and I trust he will win the Big brother naija tonight ..


One person I will never support is Buhari and his deceitful APC

Buhari is a failure and Water and oil don't mix

I'm in my late twenties so you don't expect me to stay glued to the politics of hate and bitterness Buhari and Tinubu plays

Guy enough abeg, today you are in your late twenties, tomorrow, you would be a grandfather when the kids in the house talk to you anyhow.

Same you have been impersonating a tribe which even in your next life, you can never be one.

FYI, I watched BBA comfortably and conveniently during the era of Late Goldie, Prezzo, Delish when the program was still sane and normal.. That's almost a decade ago. Chai Khaki can never be leather laye laye

Ignoring list activated already...

Whether you believe or not, 2023 election will happen and a president will emerge.


Throughout PDP sixteen years, they were giving contracts to Afenifere and OPC, none of them ask for restructuring.


Nobody can blackmail the APC to practically divide Nigeria in the name of restructuring. Buhari has done some restructuring without making noise. Nothing more will be restructured, if you are not satisfied, go to court.




I AM DONE TALKING

So because they are old men i shouldn't castigate them when they play dirty politics with human lives ?

You're one of the problems of Nigeria

No meaningful free and fair election can hold under the present security situation
