The Pan Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to appoint ministers that will help him in the administration of the country instead of running the country as a sole administrator.
The leader of the group, Chief Reuben Fasoranti who disclosed this in an interview with reporters at the weekend also asked the kingmakers in Ile-Ife in Osun State to choose among the contestants for the stool of Ooni a worthy replacement for the late monarch of the town, Oba Okunade Sijuwade who joined his ancestors recently.
The 89-year Afenifere leader said the thinking in the country is that the President Buhari is slow in taking action and decisions due to lack of policy direction from the government.

According to him, the President should sit down and have a package that would lead Nigeria to the promise land.
His words: “I think the President should sit down and have a package. What people are saying is very correct. He just is picking people here and there. He did not get time to settle down for governance yet and the time is flying. Let him constitute the Cabinet and start working.
“As it is now, Buhari is still behaving like a military dictator. Just picking on people, he should sit down for work. His cabinet has not met. He is running a one man show now but let us give him some time.”
On the Ooni of Ife, Fasoranti expressed the condolence of the group to the people of the town and Yoruba race in general and asked for a worthy successor for the late monarch.

Fasoranti said: “His death is sad lose, very heavy lose. I wasn’t expect him to die now,surly we shall all die; but we expected him to live a bit longer. Ooni was a quintessential monarch, very humble, friendly and broad minded. He towered above other monarchs. After all I am bold enough to say that. He didn’t parade his superiority but he lived it and people acknowledged it. He worked with different type of people and at the same time, you will see in him something that is unique that towered above other monarchs.
“The way he dressed, the way he spoke with confidence. I have never seen him frowned. He was always relaxed, always approached problems with ease and understanding. I think the other monarchs accepted him as a superior king.
“We shall miss him and his place will be very difficult to fill. He had showed that he had a goal even at school, his colleague accorded him respect, his teachers also treated him with respect, when he came to the throne, people were not surprise. He was a great monarch.”

Old men seeking relevance after scamming GEJ of his dollars. Pa Fasoranti and his Afenifere gangs are only speaking for themselves. They don't represent the Yoruba race.

OPC said it
Afenifere said it

Doesn't these two groups represent the interest of the Yorubas again?
[/b]Y'all should not put all your eggs in the basket owned by Tinubu, you will all be scammed.

Who are these elders trying so hard to impress. Two things that are fueling Afenifere's current stance are PDP elements in the group and their hate for Tinubu. They are fighting to ensure that Tinubu does not become far more powerful than their organization. But all these antagonizing of the Buhari's administration is not the best way to challenge Tinubu's political domination in the SW.

The two groups supported GEJ during the last election and we all saw the result. I think that should answer your question.

As regards Tinubu, thanks for the advice, we know what is good for us.

I support the actualization of odua republic, unlike my coward folks. ..I prefer sophisticated and progressive Odu'a republic than this nigeria. ..

Hausa/Fulani are not our kins...they should learn to fight for their own war and achieve their arewa republic. .

.....yorubas should concentrate their energy on the actualization of odua republic instead mocking the brave biafrans. ..it's a great feat to withstand a combined efforts of yorubas and Hausa/Fulani plus the western powers....I don't think any other nigerian ethnic group can do that. ..
