Fasoranti, Afenifere leader, blesses Tinubu’s presidential bid
The former leader of Afenifere, a Yoruba socio-political group, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, has prayed for the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in 2023 election, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Tinubu got the endorsement on Sunday after visiting his residence in Ondo State, barely four months before the commencement of the presidential election.
The APC leader will also use the opportunity of the visit to present his action plan to Fasoranti and the leaders of the group.
Tinubu arrived at the airport in Akure earlier in the day and was received by the State’s Deputy Governor, Lucky Ayedatiwa, the State’s APC Chairman, Ade Adetimehin, and other leaders of the party in and outside Ondo.
“The south-west, as I have pointed out, has produced a president and currently sits as VP; the south-south has spent a total of six years in the presidency, but the Igbo people of the south-east have never tasted presidency in Nigeria, and now that the power is due back in the south, equity demands that it be ceded to the Igbo,” Faoranti had said.
“We cannot continue to demand that the Igbo people remain in Nigeria, while we at the same time continue to brutally marginalise and exclude them from the power dynamics.”
