Adebanjo insists on Obi as Fasoranti endorses Tinubu for Presidency.

The leader of the Pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, and several South West leaders on Sunday has endorsed the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Tinubu received their endorsement during a meeting he had with the leaders of the organization at Fasoranti’s residence in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

Members of the group, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, and the Secretary-General Chief Sola Ebiseni, were however absent at the meeting.

Adebanjo who had earlier declared support for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.

said he was not supposed to be at the meeting in Akure, adding that his support for Obi was already known.

He said, “In the first place, I was not supposed to be there. In the second place, we have made our position clear. Pa Fasoranti asked me if I was coming, and I said if he asked me to come. But tell him what the position of Afenifere is. Once he has done that, I’m not going into any controversy about that.

Afenifere has taken a stance to support Obi. Any other splinter or rebel group is regarded as a diversion.

Fasoranti, who briefly prayed for the APC candidate, simply declared, “Tinubu will win the election.”
