2023: Afenifere Leader Discloses Reason For Backing Peter Obi by adenigga(m): 11:27pm On Aug 24, 2022
Leader of Afenifere, a pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Ayo Adebanjo has said that Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, shares the same values with him.
Recall that Adebanjo and the leadership of Southern and Middle Belt Forum (SMBLF) had on Tuesday met with the LP presidential flagbearer.


Speaking on the meeting with the former governor of Anambra in an interview on Channels TV, Adebanjo said that Obi believes in the restructuring of the nation and is also fighting for oppressed Nigerians.

He went on to condemn the present constitution the country is operating with, insisting that it was a fraudulent one that is not beneficial to the growth of the country.

According to him: “He (Obi) came to meet Southern and Middlebelt leaders in my house. It was an exchange of views; we believe in the same cause.

“We are all partners in progress. The fight he is fighting is a fight for the oppressed.

“Restructuring was at the front burner; we should have a country first before we have any development plan. That is the pillar on which the Southern and Middlebelt leaders stand.

“Constitutional review, community policing, devolution of power and others are all embedded in restructuring. Where we have a constitution where everybody is dissatisfied, you won’t have peace and without peace, there will be no stability. These are fundamental.

“There is nothing new about restructuring; we are only saying let us go back to where we started before the military came. Where did we start? The constitution was made in 1964, endorsed by Awolowo, Azikwe and Sardauna, and was what we had until the military came in 1966 and imposed this constitution.


“This constitution is a fraudulent one and the government has never refuted it. They set aside the constitution before 1966, imposed this one and included all the things that were excluded that are causing confusion till today. We must go back to that constitution.”

I don't know who in their right frame of mind that will vote for any other candidate other than Obi

Who will support this evil constitution impose on Nigerians

Where sharia was enshrined into our constitution but no Christian court!

Where the fulani elites can boldly marry the under aged at 13 shocked shocked

Where criteria for being a president are not met yet the president is not impeached

Where we are taken back to the military era but under the guise of democracy

Nigerians have being sleeping for far too long, its time to wake up!

Wake up! Giant of Africa, wake up!!!

While he doesn't speak for the Yoruba, he shares the same opinion as many wise Yoruba sons and daughters.

Obi is the only candidate worth voting for among those presenting themselves for 2023.

The only reason why Adeband*t is supporting Pandora Ambassador is not far fetched, because Obi is a Christian!
When has it ever happened that a true son of Yoruba will choose a non-Yoruba candidate (and an Igbo for that matter) over and above his kinsmen ?! NEVER
Afenifere under Adeband*t is simply playing religious card. Tinubu is a Yoruba Muslim and Afenifere believes water is thicker than blood!

Obi's movement is a divine mandate to rescue Nigeria from years of ineptitude corruption, mal administration, nepotism and everything negative.
PDP didn't see all these endorsements coming. Even me couldn't believe Obi will come this far after decamping. We have always believed we will have to choose between PDP and APC.
The moment the two evil parties saw the wave Obi was making, they all shifted their attention to attacking the very treat to their hallowed collective stealing.

They have created social media gangs that dish out tribal insults and divisions to derail the movement. They have also been sponsoring killings in the east to paint it Igbo vs Hausas to win sympathy votes. Shame
Please if you are OBI-dient, kindly ignore all these tribal bashing over social media. Their agents are active deceiving the gullible populace. Remember suffering does not chose tribes. We need to save our country and 2023 is the red line. We either get it right or we suffer forever.
