Secretary of the Afenifere, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, has described as fake the group that endorsed the candidature of President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday.
The Afenifere led by Chief Ayo Fasanmi had declared its support for the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate and threatened any member that opposes the decision.
But according a story in ‘The Punch’ , the Afenifere, of which Odumakin is secretary, has kicked against it.
He is quoted as saying, “That is a fake Afenifere group powered by Bola Ahmed Tinubu. If you look at the names of the people at that particular group, the only person that was once with us is Senator Fasanmi and we believe they are just using him.
“The masquerade behind this entire show is Bola Tinubu, who has plenty of money. Why is he hiding under Afenifere? Haven’t he and his people been disparaging Afenifere? Why has Afenifere suddenly become attractive to them?
“When Afenifere was fighting for the rights of Yoruba people attacked by herdsmen in Ile-Ife and in Akure, where was Bola Tinubu? Suddenly, he remembers Afenifere because elections are here.”
