Ayo Adebanjo, leader of the Yoruba socio-political
organisation, Afenifere, has given reasons why the group will not support Bola
Tinubu or some other Presidential candidates.
Adebanjo said Afenifere will not support Tinubu or any
candidate until the constitution is changed.
He noted that until the country is restructured, the group
won’t queue behind any presidential candidate.
Addressing journalists in Lagos, Adebanjo, stressed that
Tinubu has the right to run for the presidency in 2023.
Speaking on Tinubu’s presidential ambition, Adebanjo said:
“Your man has every right to contest the election, he is not disabled, so what
is the big deal about that?
“We are not contending who is the President now because we
don’t believe in the constitution that we have. Until that constitution is
changed, then we will talk about where the President will be.
“We have no candidate now until that constitution is changed
because I don’t want to go on an uncharted sea that is the implication now.
“You must believe in the constitution before you say I want
to be a part of it. I am not going to be part of the constitution or election
that operates a military constitution. That’s the bone of contention and which
President Buhari himself has not disputed. The constitution we have is a
military one.”
Tinubu had on Monday made his presidential ambition public.
The former governor of Lagos State had informed President
Muhammadu Buhari officially of his intention to run for the Presidency.
He had disclosed his ambition after a meeting with Buhari at
the State House, Abuja.
