The pan Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has dissociated himself from a tweet in which he is purported to have declaring support for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Ayo Adebanjo.
He said he had no social media account, stressing that the tweet was fake.
According to the National Publicity Secretary of the group, Jare Ajayi, whenever Adebanjo has anything to say to the public, he does so directly by addressing the press, through an interview or a Press Statement, adding that he also addressed the public through the Secretary General or the National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere.
He added: “In view of the fact that Adebanjo usually speaks directly with the press, both print and electronic, any information purporting to have emanated from the said ‘social media account’ should be totally disregarded because he has no such account in any form or manner.
“Since the elder statesman does not have any social media account, whatever is found in the Twitter account could not be said to have come from him. He has no such accounts as he speaks directly to the media or causes his views to be channeled to the public via the organisation’s Secretary General or the national publicity secretary.
“The media and members of the public are hereby enjoined to disregard any statement purported to have been sourced from Pa Adebanjo’s social media account because he has none.”
