The pan Yoruba Socio-Political and cultural organisation, Afenifere on Monday explained why it is supporting the Labour Party Presidential candidate Dr. Peter Obi for the 2023 presidency, stressing that its decision was based on equity and fairness.

Speaking at a press conference on the decision of the organization in Lagos, its acting leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo said the decision was taken in the interest and progress of the nation.

“Afenifere has therefore decided to address you today and through you educate the public on the ideological and equitable principles which have influenced our decision. Let me state here for the benefit of those, who may not know that Afenifere is the Yoruba interpretation of social welfarist ideology of Action Group, a political party founded by Chief Obafemi Awolowo and his colleagues in 1951 with strong advocacy for federalism as the best form of government to give the federating units the requisite autonomy to thrive and peacefully compete among themselves for the ultimate development of Nigeria.”

Adebanjo said, it is disheartening that we included the principle of federal character in our constitution, which allows every part of the country to have access to  top position in the country but it is shameful that that principle is not extended to the most important position of rulership of the country.

‘’It is therefore preposterous to adopt this principle for employment in public service admissions in educational institutions, political appointment, the composition of the executive committee of a political party only to jettison it in the most important question of rulership of the federation.
