Chief Ayo Adebanjo, the head of the Yoruba sociocultural organisation Afenifere, has offered his opinion on what will transpire in Nigeria if Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP), wins and the office is subsequently vacated.

If Obi is not recognized as the winner of the 2023 presidential election, according to Adebanjo, there will be a catastrophe in Nigeria.

The Afenifere leader emphasized that the LP is no longer a party but rather a movement of disgruntled Nigerians seeking change in an interview with Newsmen.

He underlined that the organization is not a Yoruba group alone but a Yoruba association of the Action Group, which clarified Afenifere’s choice to support obi.

He said “No, Afenifere is not a Yoruba group alone; that’s the mistake you are making; it is a Yoruba association of the Action Group. The Action Group was one of those who championed the cause of federalism in Nigeria before independence. I said the Western Region has had its share. How can we be talking about equity and we have the Igbo, who are part of the federation, deny them of their rights? This is not a Yoruba matter, but what will keep us together and give us progress. This message is what you should consider and forget Adebanjo.”

He said that the former governor is one of those who left government and was not pursued by the EFCC, which tells a lot about his integrity, when asked if he believes Obi can lead Nigeria out of the economic quagmire afflicting the nation.

If Obi wins the 2023 presidential election and it is rigged to elect someone else, he claimed, the nation will be in upheaval.

He forewarned that there would be an upheaval in the nation if the youths united to elect a candidate and some forces opted not to recognize the result.

“Certainly, there will be crises if Obi wins the election and is not recognised. If he doesn’t win and you vote in the Fulani or those who have done woefully, there will be crises, because it is between Tinubu and Atiku, if not Obi. Tinubu represents the government that has failed and Atiku represents another failure. Am I wrong? Atiku is representing a region that is excluding one of the members of the federation and you want peace? Or do you want us to go back to somebody who has proved clueless about our problems and has worsened our situation for eight years? Except Obi wins and you allow him to rule, because I don’t rule out his winning and Buhari saying no, and that there is a problem in Katsina and the election is inconclusive. And I am sure he will not get away with it. If he tries to Babangida us, we shall Babangida him. The position is simple, you don’t need a signboard; with this revolution of the youth and they vote and you say you won’t recognise it, then you cause a revolution. If you make change impossible, you make violent change inevitable. I am repeating it for anybody to come and catch me. For the election to be free and fair and Obi wins, but you don’t want him to be sworn in, you are joking and calling for revolution,” he added.
