Peter Obi must be next president: says Afenifere leader Ayo Adebanjo
A Yoruba elder statesman, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, has reaffirmed his loyalty for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
He said the love and passion that Nigerians have for the presidential candidate cannot be compared with that of other candidates.
The leader of Afenifere, a Yoruba sociocultural organization made this revelation while granting a television interview, Thursday.
He said it’s time the presidency is zoned to the South East.
Adebanjo said, “Well, I believe those who have love in following the trajectory of the Nigerian election must know why we are supporting Peter Obi. Of course, you must remember I was the first person to cry out that it was the turn of the South East. The parties had not done their primaries at that time, but I was just thinking about the constitutionality, logicality and equity of the situation of Nigerian politics from the time of independence.
“I think all passion for Obi cannot be compared with others. It is historical, philosophical, logical and constitutional, and even a question of inclusiveness if you are sincere about keeping Nigeria together.”
