Presidency Not Yoruba Property – Afenifere On Endorsing Peter Obi by valentineuwakwe(m): 10:06am On Oct 21, 2022 |
The apex Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, has said the Presidency is not the personal property of the Yorubas. Afenifere was responding to allegations of picking the Labour Party, LP, Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, ahead of Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC. Sola Ebiseni, the Afenifere’s Secretary-General, said the body’s support for Obi was based on principle and the interest of the Nigerian State. Ebiseni made the clarification during an interview on Arise TV. The South-East has been agitating for a run at the presidency and the popularity of Peter Obi, especially amongst the youth demography might upset the established order. However, Ebiseni said, “Our support of Peter Obi was based on the principle of justice. The presidency is not the personal property of the Yorubas and BAT is a product of the Afenifere. “The group’s support has nothing to do with personalities but peace in the country. Afenifere is not apolitical with seasoned politicians within the ranks. The Nigerian state comes first and we want a nation with everyone having a sense of belonging. And since we want it to come to the South, no one region should corner it.” Source; https://dailypost.ng/2022/10/21/presidency-not-yoruba-property-afenifere-on-endorsing-peter-obi/ 1 Like

Giving Obi a chance in 2023 would not be largesse to the bespectacled ascetic what is at stake transcends one man he is just a catalyst for the new Nigeria we desire. It is more about the things his emergence would represent: that the people come first, that democracy must indeed be of the people, by the people and for the people. That anyone can emerge as president no matter what part of the country they come from or how they worship, as long as they are best suited for the job; that people with the sheer power to vote can sack the stale politicians with their shopworn ideas and toxicity. Nigeria at this time needs a visionary, not an emperor. We must wrest ourselves from the manacles of those who have held us bound and have become entitled to our commonwealth. We must shun prejudices as we forge ahead to become a prosperous nation. We must make this Obi experiment now and turn the tide against the political elite because fortune only favours the brave. It is in our hands. The revolution is still loading. |

Moh247: Take it or leave it they have made their stand on behalf of the Omoluabi's. You are not more Yoruba than them and Obasanjo. You are a product of year 2000 who knows nothing. Obi is our second option after Atiku |
