Ayo Adebanjo: I Am 92 Years, Afenifere Needs A Younger Leader by nairavsdollars(f): 7:27pm On Mar 16, 2021
New acting national leader of pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere Chief Ayo Adebanjo on Tuesday said he would have desired a much younger person to be in charge of the group’s affairs.

The former national leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti who is 95 years old stepped down from the position due to old age.
According to him, the development became necessary because the group needs an improved organisation with more effective approach to combat the challenges facing Yoruba people.

But speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, 92 year-old Adebanjo said he would have desired a much more younger person to step into Fasoranti’s shoes as the group’s leader, adding that the issue will be looked into in the near future.

“I am not at that meeting where the decision was taken today that I will be the new leader of Afenifere but I agree with them on the decisions taken” .“However, I believe they should have chosen a younger person as the new leader. I also agree with those saying it is time for younger generation of leaders to take charge of Afenifere. I believe we will look into that as time goes on” .

“People will say when a 95 year old stepped down for a 92 year old, what difference does it really make? I will really love a younger person to be in charge. I don’t have to be the leader to contribute my quota. There is nothing I have been doing now that I can’t still do.

On what he will do differently in his new position as Acting leader of the group, Adebanjo said“There is nothing new to add. What we have been doing in Afenifere is what we will keep doing because we are a consistent organisation. Afenifere is a principled organisation. We believe in restructuring of Nigeria and true federalism. We also believe in good governance without corruption” he said.

If Only you guys were shouting about true federalism at the top of your voice during GEJ tenure, maybe he would have worked on ways to restructure Nigeria early instead of the injury time he started working on it.

But your guys mouth was filled up with dollars you couldn't even speak up.

Afenifere doesn't look like an organization that has too many young members. Of course, there is Yinka Odumakin in there but certainly not many. Obviously, Afenifere needs to restructure to be relevant to ordinary Yoruba person and to be able to demand for restructuring of Nigeria. Furthermore, making "how to pull Tinubu down" as one of its objectives is also devaluing.

Ohaneze too needs to serious restructuring.

I expect Chief Ayo Adebanjo to reject the position and rather tell the committee to find a younger leader instead of saying mere words about the need for younger ones.

I'll like to be the next Afenifere leader. Just contact me.

I am young, and I have good vision for Yorubaland. Plus, I can't be bought with money.

Can someone please tell us how to become a member of Afenifere?

Some of us want to join the group but don't know how to go about it.

These two men have left a legacy worthwhile... they have ensured that our awareness of the evil done by leaders are checked, they are our torchlights.
