THE pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, said, yesterday, that if President Muhammadu Buhari has self-respect, he should have resigned or stepped aside.


Afenifere’s acting National Leader, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, said this during the 95th birthday ceremony of Pa Reuben Fasoranti and the dedication of a church in his honour, at Iju/Ita Ogbolu, in Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State.

Adebanjo said that President Buhari ought to have resigned over his administration’s inability to address insecurity, and the dwindling economic challenges confronting the country.

He said: “The President has failed the people of the country; there is no better time to leave but now. Buhari’s government can no longer handle the situation.


“I have told them that in a better and civilized country he should have gone long ago. If he has self-respect, he should have gone because everything has fallen apart.

“What is he presiding over? Is it over corruption, security, education? Law and order have broken down in the country for the past three years.

“It is only because Nigerians are over-tolerance of despots that is why he is still there.”


The Afenifere chieftain also berated the youths, saying they have failed the country.

“The younger generation has failed the country. The country was not as bad as this when we were demonstrating self-governance.

“They want the old men to fight their cause for them. Why should people like me be in the trenches at 93 and Baba Fasoranti at 95? Where are those in their 40s and 30s?


“When we were at their age, we were on the streets, in Lagos, London, everywhere and when we were in the university. You are PDP in the morning, APC in the afternoon and SDP in the evening, and they say they are young. The youths should be ashamed of themselves.”

Adebanjo, however, expressed optimism that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

“As a Christian, I still have hope. If Nigerians are conscious of their rights, and they know what to d,o but where is the demonstration in the country that Buhari government must go?”

In his remarks, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State described Fasoranti as one of the best assets to the Yoruba nation and a hero of democracy who should be celebrated.

Speaking through his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the governor said: “We are gathered here to celebrate one of the best from the Yoruba nation. His selfless service stands him out and he remains one of the heroes of democracy in the country today.

“His presence is a symbolic asset to the Yoruba race. We should all stand to join him in his dream to bring about a united and strong Yoruba nation.”

His love for disunity would unite Nigerians...

- Who would ever think the southern Governors would ever seat together to discuss a common goal?

- who would ever think the middle belt would stand up and say enough is enough?

- who would ever think the North would begin to see issues through the right lenses rather than just religious and brotherhood?

- who would ever think the nation together would call for respect to federal character and seek alternative to nepotism that has been practised for decades in Nigeria?

- who would ever think to go against the corrupt tinted security outfits of Nigeria that usually goes to the highest bidder?

- who would ever think Nigerian can organize an endsars protest to demand accountability from its presidency?

Truly Buhari may have been a blessing in disguise..

No vegetable has self respect

Exercise patience na just one year remain

Those who tried it during #endsars are nursing their wounds or six feet below.

I am Igbo but I have so much respect for Afenifere. Always on point. They're a great contrast to our Ohaneze that are always talking trash. They are also a striking contrast to most Yorubas on Nairaland. I also realize that Ohaneze is equally different in their views from most Igbos on Nairaland. Can we say that this proves that the youths and the elders have different views in the two tribes?

Yoruba Nairalanders, please, let's exchange: since most of you talk like our Ohaneze and most of us talk like your Afenifere, please, take Ohaneze and give us Afenifere.

Meanwhile, someone help me: what's the translation of 'Afenifere'? 'Ohaneze Ndị Igbo' translates as 'the whole of Igbo people' or literally as 'the people and the King of Igboland'.

Buhari is going nowhere. Put that in to your skull. D only thing to do now is to wail. By the way this people don't speak for Yoruba nation

Sure, he's going nowhere because he lacks self-respect. That's what the sagacious elders already said.

Of course the senile vegetative figurehead braindead doppelganger dementia, mentally unstable animalistic imp we have as president have no dignity.

“The younger generation has failed the country. The country was not as bad as this when we were demonstrating self-governance.

This is one bitter truth that Nigerian youths will not want to hear. Only to sign a petition, we can't. When we should have demonstrated against Buhari himself, we cowardly diverted our anger to the police.

What happened to #Endsars peaceful demonstrators? Majority of them that demonstrated against military dictators, do not want anyone questioning their irrational rulership.

It won't reach to that

In Adesina's word, you can not flog a dead horse.

If I hear say Buhari resign

That man is just using Nigeria to catch cruise till 2023.

He has achieved his 2 major goals. The rest na cruise mode

The living or dead buhari rather, tell the cabals to resign
