The presidential ambition of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) appears to have caused a wedge in the long standing relationship of two Afenifere leaders, Pa Reuben Fasoranti and Chief Ayo Adebanjo.

While Fasoranti is fully in support of Tinubu’s aspiration and prayed for his success on Sunday, Adebanjo is backing Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP).

In March 2021, 96 year-old Fasoranti stepped down as National Leader of Afenifere citing old age. He handed over to 93 year-old Ayo Adebanjo as the Acting National Leader.

While Tinubu met with the Afenifere leaders on Sunday in Akure, Adebanjo and those loyal to him stayed away from the event.

In April 2021, Fasoranti had earlier endorsed Tinubu’s presidential bid when the South West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA 23), paid him a courtesy visit in his country home in Akure.
He had said “Tinubu has all it takes to rule Nigeria. Considering his activities and track record, he deserves to be President, come 2023.May his prayers be answered. When he gets there, he will do all we want".

However, Adebanjo quickly countered Fasoranti saying his statement doesn't represent the general views of Afenifere.

On Sunday, Fasoranti and other Afenifere leaders prayed for Tinubu and blessed his presidential bid.

Please lay hand on that head well well. Maybe prayers can reverse age induced dementia.

This comment deserves an award.

Very deep.

Doesn't matters

This seems to be and Esau and Jacob situation playing out here , Jacob has already taking the blessings and moved on while Esau with his entitlement mentality has come to take what appears not to be the blessings from an ex leadership of afenifere compassed by cheerleaders and praise singers

adebanjo don scam u igbos

One thing that is certain, no Yoruba men and women opposed this ticket. They support this ticket. I want to tell you that I will bring the TROPHY home. It is not just a Yoruba thing. It is a Nigeria project, JAGANBA.

This old men should go and rest. 95 year old men fighting each other because of politics

When Doyin Okupe was asked about it, he said it's a welcome development and then moved on to other things

When Utomi was asked he said Afenifere was free and in it's right to support whoever they feel will protect their interests

Peter Obi has not said anything about it.

It's keyamo and co who are breathing fire over it.

Fasoranti and falae are pencil pushers. Adebanjo is a foot soldier.

While APC were hustling to pay 30 pieces of silver for Afenifere support, OBJ was marshalling and prepping his men in kinchasa.

President Obi is currently at 19million votes, by December he will be at 21million. By February, probably at 24million votes. On election day, 28million is a target.
