Senator Anthony Adefuye, a Third Republic senator and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday blasted Afenifere, pan Yoruba socio-political organisation for claiming he was distorting history over his statement on former President Olusegun Obasanjo's heritage.

Adefuye in an interview with Daily Independent had said Obasanjo is an Igboman with an Igbo father from Anambra state while his mother was from Abeokuta in Ogun state.

Yinka Odumakin, Afenifere's National Publicity Secretary however said described Adefuye's statement as a "twisted and perverted logic".

He also said some Yoruba sons are trying to join others to denigrate the heritage of the former president in a bid to advance their political interests.

Speaking with our correspondent on Thursday, Adefuye said he parted ways with Afenifere leaders because they are not honest people. 

Adefuye who accused them of cheating the late Funso Williams also added that Afenifere leaders are embittered against him for supporting Obasanjo in the 1999 presidential election.

He said "Odumakin is a man who talks for what he will get from what he says. He knows no facts. The only sin I committed against Afenifere was that I supported Obasanjo during the 1999 presidential election".  

"At that time, they also cheated late Funsho Williams and so I decided not to work with them. I have just been keeping quiet not because we don't know them. We know them very well. The problems they are facing now, they caused it themselves". 

"So, that is why they have no followership anymore. Before it is the party that Afenifere supports that wins election but today, when they are in any political party, nobody is there and they lose because they are never honest. They are not honest people. They don't speak the truth". 

"When we were in the 2014 National conference, that was why some of them went and take money from President Goodluck Jonathan and said that he should make derivation 25 percent. I asked, if you make derivation 25 percent, how does that save we Yorubas that have no oil? When my children will come and read in history that I was part of the people that said derivation should go to Ijaw people?".

The elderstatesman also backed his claim that restated Obasanjo is not a Yoruba man with an incident that happened in 1999 shortly after Obasanjo's victory in the 1999 presidential election.

"When we were campaigning for him, most of the time I was with him in Ota, Ogun state. After he won the presidential election in 1999, this delegation came from Anambra state and they said they wanted to see him as their son who has just won election". 

"Obasanjo refused and didn't allow them to enter that day. I was with him and was pleading with him to allow them to enter and hear what they wanted to say but he refused. The national dailies flew it the next day. I know Obasanjo very well so I know what I'm talking about" Adefuye said.

Interesting ...

I love the way Senator Adefuye is dealing with those senile, greedy, selfish, jealous and unfortunate elders in Afenifere. We need more respected elders like Adefuye and Bakare to call them out for their hypocrisy, jealousy, evil and shenanigans.

These are the same set of elders that betrayed Bola Ige in 1999 and connived with Obasanjo to murder him so that PDP can win the south west. They lost out politically since then and they will keep losing.

Afenifere and Ohaneze ndigbo are 5&6.
They don't represent the interest of their people

There's no such thing like honest politicians or political group.

You only get to call out their dishonesty if they don't do things the way you want.

Coming from the honest person

So in your heart of hearts you believe Obasanjo is of igbo descent?and this is all in the name of projecting a SW presidency in 2023. Politics is indeed a dirty game

You are very right.

Only Arewa Consultative Forum represent their people.

That's why they support BokoH and Miyetti allah herdsmen killers. While the Afenifere and Ohaneze will never support Amotekun and ESN nor ipob.

The two bodies don't represent their people and their wishes.

I can’t remember saying I agree that Obasanjo is Igbo. I commended Adefuye and Bakare for calling out the useless Afenifere leaders and not for calling Obasanjo an Igbo man. Obasanjo is an Owu man to the best of my knowledge and there is no convincing evidence to suggest otherwise.

When did the Yorubas ever betrayed your ancestors?

You nyamurrri dodo n dawa people just talk like robots, it seems you just throw words around like robots programmed to regurgitate nonsense everytime.

Lmaó. Those yanmuri people are irredeemable. Don't know why they always make it sound as if we Yorubas have anything in common with them and their neighbors(save for itsekiri people), there was never a time we worked with them or did anything in common with them, starting from precolonial Nigeria, we never had any contact with them whatsoever, we didn't trade with them, not anything did we do with them. And the funny thing is there was never a time we sought for their support for any fuccking thing, apparently, we Yorubas are aiming for the presidency come 2023,no aspiring Yoruba candidate has ever visited their region for political support,so I don't know where they got their betrayal nonsense, can u betray somone you had no agreement with? Left for me, I want our people to begin to emphasize the reality that we are not part of any fuccking South, we stand alone in the western region, have no agreement with anybody s fuccking ancestors. Let them get that to their thick skulls.

Their flaws had been open for the world to see, first it's Bakare and now this.

100% correct.

There is saying in the Bible that "by their words you know shall know them" for the past few days Mr Adefuye has been throwing slur at anybody who might likely oppose Mr Tinubu presidential candidacy. I have no problem with Mr Adefuye singing to high heaven of his paymaster but he should please desist from casting aspersions on anybody that oppose Mr Tinubu. If he likes let Me Tinubu dash all Yoruba money he will still loose.
Time and time again, Mr Tinubu has proven he has no political ideology to drive Lagos to excellence not to talk of Nigeria, all he cares about is his political aspirations. He has proven to be treacherous in character. If he has forgotten we will remind him how he orchestrated the rejection of Mrs Mulikat at the expense of Mr Tambuwal, yet he want the same people to vote for him.
Treachery beget Treachery either now or later, he will served the same dish.

lol.that's why a lot of Yoruba people do not take APC serious..lmao!
so senator Adefuye who has been propagating the noise of how obasanjo is not Yoruba which everyone including you knows to be a joke taken too far is now example of a "respected elder"....I imagine how lots like you will be crying like babies if tables were turned and it was tinubu on the receiving end of such propaganda.. the less said about bakare the better.. who reckon that one to be an elder? lol
APC bots always claim " omoluabi" saying oh "yorubas dont disrespect their elders" only when it suits them and tinubu is the victim..
you have abuse the afenifere,you lots have abused obasanjo..it has not occurred to you notwithstanding these are other people's leaders too..
now let the opposite be dished out tinubu..we will suddenly hear about how omoluabi don't abuse elders...
Thank God in Sw,most of us put on our thinking cap and not all of us are licking tinubu bumbum...propaganda such as this is only pushing more and more yoruba peoople away from your asine agenda..
you lots have not evolved, it's always shouting,noisemaking,lying..lol

the didinrins thought its like pre 2015 when they dominate the media and all they just need is a media tool for their gerrymandering and noisemaking..
while SW is evolving,for example most people in SW apart from APC supporters sees the man who has been shouting against OBJ indigineship as a joke..APC as a party has fail to evolved. they are still the same..noisemaking,lying and propaganda.. lol
