Elder statesman and leader of the Yoruba socio-political
group, Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo has called on the supporters of Peter Obi,
presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, to participate actively in
making him the next President of Nigeria.
Adebanjo made the call during the launch of the 157-page
book titled “The Challenges of Good Governance and Leadership in Nigeria: The
Peter Obi effect Factor,” an event organised by the Alaigbo Development
Foundation (ADF).
Recall that there had been other conflicting endorsements
from Reuben Fasoranti, the former national leader of Afenifere, for the
candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu.
Fasoranti’s endorsement of Tinubu, when he announced that he
had thrown his weight behind Tinubu’s 2023 bid and blessed him.
However, Adebanjo has repeatedly echoed his support for Obi.
“It is no longer a tea party. Those who are there do not
want to leave, but we will kick them out. I want your action, don’t let the
opponents intimidate you.
“I have found in Peter Obi, a person that would cool me down
for a better tomorrow. Your future is in your hands, and your positive action
will make Peter Obi the next President,” he said.
Meanwhile, Uzodinma Nwala, the ADF national president and
chief host of the event, said Obi’s humility and good works inspired the book
launched in his honour.
