Pa Reuben Fasoranti, the leader of the Yoruba Socio-Political Group, Afenifere, has stated that he is still in charge of the organisation and has endorsed Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the APC’s candidate for president.
In a popular video, Fasoranti asserted, “I am still the leader of Afenifere,” and claimed that the group had never approved Mr. Peter Obi of the Labour Party. We are endorsing Jagaban (Bola Ahmed Tinubu) for the presidency; Afenifere has not endorsed Obi.

“As you can see, the trend, the approval and the acceptability. You could see what happened when Tinubu came to meet me in Akure. Media carried the whole thing.
“Adebanjo does not have the capacity to warn me not to welcome Tinubu. Can he do that successfully?
“What happened was that Adebanjo took a stand and I took a stand. I didn’t call him and he didn’t call me. We never spoke about the visit.
“As you can see, Jagaban is accepted and we approve of him,” he continued. We have absolutely no opinion of Obi.
