The Pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, led by Chief Reuben Fasoranti, on Tuesday described the faction led by Pa Ayo Fasanmi as traitors in Yorubaland, who are unfit to be referred to as members of Afenifere.

Speaking on the visit of the Fasanmi-led group, which included Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Chief Segun Osoba, Sen. Abiola Ajimobi, Sen. Adedayo Adeyeye, and others to President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday, Yinka Odumakin, National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, said they were not members of the organisation but leaders of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South-West.

According to Odumakin, Fasanmi and his group are mere opportunists and impostors who have always been silent when issues relating to the welfare of the Yoruba are concerned.


“That was not Afenifere that met with Buhari. Bola Tinubu and his group are just members of the APC South-West, and if they have any dignity, they could never have called themselves Afenifere.

“The group that visited Buhari are mere opportunists and great impostors. Every intelligent Nigerian cannot remember hearing their voices in all the challenges the Yoruba have faced in recent times.

“They are all APC members who should have called themselves so if there is decency. They are not different from all the funny groups like Imeri group to provoke the Yoruba. It’s unfortunate that some of these people who played noble roles in the past are doing this in their departing years.

“In all the battles of the Yoruba people, have you heard the voices of these people, whether Tinubu, Fasanmi, or any of them parading themselves as Afenifere today? They are taunting Yoruba people.”

“They are behaving like all the group Abacha was parading about to taunt Yoruba in those days. And it is unfortunate that some of them are in that coup with Abacha. They are traitors in Yorubaland, they can never be Afenifere,” he said.

No Yoruba son or daughter is more Yoruba than the other, we don't have OSU or anything outcast within us

Did they mention anything to Buhari about herdsmen attacks?

Afenifebi do not have a scope.
