2023: Why We endorsed Obi Ahead Of Tinubu — Pan-Yoruba Group, Afenifere

The leader of Afenifere gives reasons why the pan-Yoruba organisation backing Peter Obi over Bola Tinubu in the 2023 election.

The leader of pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, Ayo Adebanjo, has disclosed that the group backed Peter Obi of the Labour Party to prevent the continuity of the “incompetence” of the current administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

In a tweet posted on Friday, Mr Adebanjo said the group is opposed to the candidacy of Bola Tinubu, a Yoruba man, who is the candidate of ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) because the former Lagos State governor will ensure continuity of the current administration.

Ahmed Tinubu will only give continuity to Buhari’s incompetence. We know Peter Obi very well, that is why we endorse him. He will not disappoint Nigerians , let us out tribal difference apart and vote right leaders.

“Ahmed Tinubu will only give continuity to Buhari’s incompetence. We know Peter Obi very well, that is why we endorse him. He will not disappoint Nigerians, let us put our tribal difference apart and vote right leaders,” the tweet reads.

The group had earlier declared support for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Obi, an Igbo man and former governor of Anambra State, on the basis that it is the turn of the South-east geopolitical zone of the country.

“Yes, we have endorsed Peter Obi. My reason for supporting him is because, based on equity and justice, the presidency should go to the South-East,” Mr Adebanjo had said some weeks back.

Mr Tinubu and Afenifere have a long history. In 1999, the former contested and won the Lagos State governorship election under the Alliance for Democracy, a political party of Afenifere. He was re-elected in 2003 under the same party.

Disagreement within the Alliance for Democracy (AD) led Mr Tinubu and his allies to form the Action Congress (AC), which later turned to Action Congress (ACN) and moved to the party. Atiku Abubakar, who is the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was the presidential candidate of the AC in the 2007 election.

Since Mr Tinubu left the AD, it has been no love lost between him and Afenifere.

In 2015, Afenifere endorsed Goodluck Jonathan against the APC. Although the decision divided the group as some state chapters opposed the endorsement.

Again in 2019, the group was divided in its endorsements. A faction led by Reuben Fasoranti endorsed Mr Atiku of the PDP, while another group led by Ayo Fassanmi endorsed Mr Buhari of the APC.

This man is truly a patriotic nigerian just like me

God bless you Daddy Ayo

God bless the Yoruba tribe.

From today i have added Mr. Adebanjo to my list of useful and reasonable Nigerians.

Mr. Adebanjo you shall live long, your balls are made of solid irons wow!

It's rather funny that South West politicians have been talking about Southern unity for God knows how long, but they cannot support a president of South East extraction.

These lots have spent 8 years as president

They have also spent 8 years as Vice President

They want to start another cycle of 8 years at the presidency.

The black man knows zilch about nation-building.

However, Pa Ayo Adebanjo has earned my respect.

Obi is the man to salvage this mess that Nigerians find themselves after electing a disaster.

If u like again out of stewpidity and foolishness, elect Buhari pro max

That's wen una go know the difference between useless and uselessness

As a Yoruba man I am also OBIdient because Druggie doesn't mean well for our people, he singlehandedly filled Lagos with his urchins that cause all sort of problems within the state. APC is a failed project that needs to be eradicated

Even APC/Tinubu urchins know the truth and hated leadership under Buhari and also hate the prospect of a leadership under Escobar and that's why they are looking to flee despite all their Emilokan praises online.

It's a good thing we Still have sensible Yorubas like this man. He is so wise and filled with wisdom.

God bless Peter Obi incoming president FRN
God bless Nigeria!

urchins should humble themselves & join the winning train now, before they all get left behind.

Whatever decision you take in the name of teaching Peter Obi a lesson will only affect you. Look around you, the lesson you wanted to teach GEJ has turned Nigeria to a desolate land while GEJ is in his home town of Otuoke eating Nkwobi in peace. Your choice affects only you!

BATSHETT2023 sounds more like batshit.

8 poisonous years of APC is enough. Nigeria can’t survive another 4-8 years of batshit.

What the serpent did to Eve is the same thing Tinubu did to Nigerians in 2014.

Tinubu is a harbinger of evil. As far back as 2003, Tinubu knew Buhari was capable of dragging Nigeria into this mess. (Screenshot 1)

But guess what, Tinubu still repackaged Buhari as an incorruptible saint through media propaganda and false promises in 2014. (Screenshot 2)

See how Nigerians are suffering today (Screenshot 3 & 4)

Tinubu can whitewash the devil provided he gets what he wants.

Tinubu threw Nigerians under the bus for his selfish ambition.

A vote for Tinubu and APC that dragged Nigeria into this mess, is as good as a man thanking armed robbers for gang r*ping his wife and killing his children.

Be warned.

You were warned about Buhari in 2014, una no hear.

You are now warned about Tinubu in 2022, if una like, no hear.

That’ll be 16 years of your life gone (add 16 wasteful years of PDP too)…making 32 years with nothing tangible to show for it as a people and nation.

Efulefu

Very dishonest .Why did the SE in PDP support Atiku?

Yoruba will never vote for an Eboe candidate just as Eboes will never vote for Yoruba so let us not deceive ourselves
We all know what Orji Uzor Kalu said abouth Southern president
The Eboe politicians have painted themselves into a corner.
Right now Yoruba do not need Tinubu presidency only those he feeds support him but we also do not need an Eboe president. Know that and know peace.
Obi will not get Yoruba support.Afenifere are deceiving him
Read this and be informed https://www.nairaland.com/745731/yoruba-marginalization-elders-met-jonathan

Eboes were the first to say

If not Eboe let it stay in the North
We heard and cannot unhear
We are cool with that
If not for Eboes Wike would be on the ballot

Afenifere and Tinubu were not from same school of thought

''Ahmed Tinubu will only give continuity to Buhari’s incompetence"

I agree with this 100%

You are a dangerous Tribalist. Tribalism is worse than rascism.

Moderate muslims and Yoruba Christians would not vote Tinubu come 2023. Tinubu ti lu'le.

I would not vote Tinubu either and you are the one that is dangerous invoking So called Yoruba Christians. You people are pathetic. All of you support Obi for no other reason than that he is Eboe. I am proud to be Yoruba and I will not support Tinubu . Why should it have anything to do with Christianity? As a candidate Obi is not in anyway better than Tinubu or Atiku. He has nothing by way of track record or achievement to recommend him.
So if you are looking for a tribalist or bigot look in the mirror.
Right from 1960 The Eboe position has been that they do not vote Yoruba and vice versa so do not pretend

You do not support Yoruba and have always shown hatred https://www.nairaland.com/745731/yoruba-marginalization-elders-met-jonathan

Obi is cr7 n Messi in one person

We will never forget

The ever wailing Adebanjo.

It is only an irredeemable fool who stupidity runs in their lineage that would choose Thiefnupoo over His Excellency, Mr Peter Obi.
