Leader of pan-Yoruba socio-political advocacy organisation, the Afenifere, has thrown his full weight behind the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 General Elections, and former governor of Anambra State, Dr Peter Obi.
Speaking while featuring as guest on an online radio show, Yoruba Gbode, Tuesday, Pa Adesanya described Dr Obi as having the ‘ability to rule independently and would not disappoint Nigerians.’
Adebanjo who also disclosed that he has since lost confidence in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, said Obi can rule the country ‘without influence of these criminals in the government. Tinubu will only give continuity to Buhari’s incompetence.’
It is only Peter Obi that can rule independently without the influence of these criminals in the government. Tinubu will only give continuity to Buhari’s incompetence.
“We know Peter Obi very well , that’s why we endorsed him. He will not disappoint Nigerians, let’s put tribal differences apart and vote the right leader in.
“Tinubu sold Buhari to over 200 million Nigerians for his own selfish interest of wanting to rule after Buhari. None of them loves Nigeria,” the Afenifere leader said.
According to him, the South East region should be trusted with power, adding that the geopolitical zone deserves to lead the country.
“Easterners are also Nigerians, they deserve to rule. I am sure Peter Obi will not subject himself to the northerners like Tinubu and Atiku would do if elected,” he added.
