Pa Ayo Adebanjo has appealed to Nigerians to vote for the
presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, on Saturday.
The leader of apex Yoruba organisation, Afenifere canvassed
votes for Obi at a meeting with Atunluse Initiatives.
The elder statesman hosted the leadership of the Yoruba
socio-cultural and political group on Tuesday in Lagos, NAN reports.
Adebanjo said the people needed the former Anambra governor
to rescue Nigeria from the shackles of poverty and bad governance.
“All citizens have the responsibility to fight for their
freedom through this weekend’s presidential election,” he noted.
“We don’t have money to fight them, but we must do
everything legitimately to free ourselves,” he said.
Adebanjo maintained there was a gentleman agreement that
power at the centre would be shared between the North and the South.
The nonagenarian recalled that the South-West had their time
under Olusegun Obasanjo and the North under Umaru Yar’Adua.
“Goodluck Jonathan did his own from South-South and it went
back to North. Now coming back to the South, it should be given to the
South-East in the name of equity,” he said.
Chairman of Atunluse, Akinsola Akinbobola and his delegation
later had a closed door partly with Adebanjo and other Afenifere leaders.
