The head of the pan-Yoruba sociopolitical group Afenifere, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, has endorsed Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) nominee for president in the 2023 election.
The elder statesman stated he has no faith in Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), respectively, in an interview with Yoruba Gbode, an online radio program, on Tuesday.
In 2015, he claimed Tinubu had sold President Muhammadu Buhari to Nigerians, emphasizing that Tinubu would carry on Buhari’s disastrous policies.

He claimed that the only candidate for president of the Labour Party who could lead the nation without consulting any godfathers was him.
According to the Afenifere leader, Peter Obi would not disappoint Nigerians if he wins the 2023 presidential election.
Pa Adebanjo said: “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.
“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.
“Tinubu sold Buhari to over 200 million Nigerians for his own selfish interest of wanting to rule after Buhari. None of them loves Nigeria.”
