Leader of Afenifere, a Pan Yoruba socio-political group, Pa Ayo Adebanjo has endorsed the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi.
In an interview with an online radio programme, Yoruba Gbode, Adebanjo drummed his support saying: “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.
“Tinubu sold Buhari to over 200 million Nigerians for his own selfish interest of wanting to rule after Buhari. None of them loves Nigeria.
“Easterners are also Nigerians, they deserve to rule. I am sure Peter Obi will not subject himself to the northerners, like Tinubu and Atiku would do if elected.
“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”, he added.
Speaking with The Punch on Wednesday, Adebanjo further said: “Am I not the first to say that for equity and justice and for peace, it’s the south east? I don’t know any other candidate from the south east other than Obi and I have been very specific about Obi”.
