(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Pa Ayo Adebanjo, leader of Afenifere, a pan Yoruba socio-political organization, has endorsed the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, for the 2023 presidency.

Adebanjo made this known while speaking on Yoruba Gbode, an online radio program, on Tuesday. July 12, 2022.

He stated that Obi has the ability to “rule independently” and that the former Anambra governor would not disappoint Nigerians.

According to Adebanjo, he has since lost confidence in Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) flag bearer, and Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He said: “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 disclosed that the southeast should be trusted with power as the geopolitical zone deserves to lead the country.
