Ayo Adebanjo, leader of Afenifere, a pan Yoruba
socio-political organisation, has thrown his weight behind Peter Obi, the
presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP).
Adebanjo on Tuesday said Obi has the ability to “rule
independently” and would not disappoint Nigerians if he wins the 2023
presidential election.
Speaking on Yoruba Gbode, an online radio programme,
Adebanjo said he has lost confidence in Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives
Congress (APC) flag bearer, and Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP).
Adebanjo said Tinubu sold President Muhammadu Buhari to
Nigerians in 2015, adding that he would give continuity to “incompetence” if
elected.
“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,” he
said.
“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.”
The Afenifere leader said the south-east should be trusted
with power, adding that the geopolitical zone deserves to lead the country.
“Easterners are also Nigerians , they deserve to rule. I am
sure Peter Obi will not subject himself to the northerners like Tinubu and
Atiku would do if elected,” he added.
