Afenifere Group Declaration For Peter Obi: An Embarrassment to the Region to Foil Internal Disunity- Says Omoluabi Team Alliance SC&P Group.

Afenifere Group Declaration For Peter Obi: An Embarrassment to the Region to Foil Internal Disunity- Says Omoluabi Team Alliance SC&P Group.

Omoluabi Team Alliance Socio- cultural Group condemn in totality the comments of the Pan Yoruba Socio- cultural group for publicly endorsing the candidature of Mr Peter Obi through his new National Leader Pa Ayo Adebanjo few days ago. It is no more strange to some of us that the foremost Pan Yoruba Socio-cultural Group which is suppose to be a bonding agent and a rallying point for the Yoruba ethnic group worldwide is fast becoming a shadow of itself and seems to be loosing focus on the primary purpose for which the group was founded by the frontliners of the group who are no more.

 Pa Ayo Adebanjo was seen making public the group' s support and declaration for the candidature of Mr.Peter Obi who is running for the highest office in the country on the platform of the Labour Party. This public declaration has been circulating on air and occupying media space in the last couple of weeks leaving a lot of Nigerians and the Yoruba people especially worried about this position of a highly respected socio-cultural group who now bath in old glory and has absolutely lost the genuine voice it was known for several decades ago. Yes individuals or groups have a right to show solidarity and support at this time as it pleases such groups but not a socio- cultural group like Afenifere who understands the gravity of such action at this crucial moment. 

To Omoluabi Team Alliance Socio-cultural Group, Pa Ayo Adebanjo's decalaration for Peter Obi is best described as a regional embarrassment, a misplaced priority, misinformation and misrepresentation of a region they claim to speak for. It is very pertinent to rebuke and reject in totality such act, action and statements that is best perceived to have grave implications on the chances of the emergence of our son Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a prominent leader and a committed nationalist who to many of us in the younger generation is seen to be a unifying figure, a pathfinder and the only personality still standing head tall to create that needed representation, unity of purpose and bond for the entire southwest and by extension the Yoruba people across borders. 

Afenifere under Pa Ayo Adebanjo has not gotten it right on all fronts since his take over of the administration of the group from Pa Reuben Fasoranti. One sometimes will wonder if this is the same Afenifere that once paraded highly respected men, elderly ones who were known for fighting aggressively and unapologetically against any individual or group who wants to throw banters at the youruba people. Even in the face of imperfection as no individual is perfect, It is not an exaggeration to say that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains the best candidate for the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria come 2023 going by his antecedents, sincerity of purpose, good leadership style, political footprints viz- a-viz his hunger for the southwest integration since 1999 till date.

 Fortunately for us in the southwest and the entire Yoruba land, we have this one man as a great asset who is best defined as a re- incarnated Awolowo whose thirst for the development of his region was unrivalled. 

Omoluabi Team Alliance Socio- cultural Group want to categorically state that Mr. Peter Obi and the Labour Party should not allow himself and his party be deceived through the pseudo declaration of Pa Ayo Adebanjo for his Presidential bid come 2023. Such statement and declaration is misinforming, misrepresenting, gross insincerity, condemnable and baseless as it is not a declaration made on behalf of the southwest and the Yoruba people worldwide. We shall continue to support our own son, the Presidential flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu not because of his party affiliation but because of his contribution, competence, capacity, love and passion for national unity and development viz-a -viz providing directions politically to the entire southwest against all odds since 1999 till date. 

We shall not tolerate any individual, group or ethnic affiliation who intend attempting any act capable of thwarting an assured victory and rare opportunity at our doorstep to produce the next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Omoluabi Team Alliance Socio- cultural and Political Group however advise that the elderly stateman, Pa Ayo Adebanjo and other highly respected members of the Afenifere Group we all grew up to know as children should have a rethink, repent and come to reason with us on reasons why they must throw their weights behind the man of the moment, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. They should set aside personal grievances, acrimony, long time feud and clash of interest that may have existed in the time past. Our elders know too well that no house divided against itself shall stand.and that an injury to one is an injury to all which is entrenched in the ideology and principle Afenifere Group was known for even in the days of the founder Chief Obafemi Awolowo. The group was privileged to have been mentored by the late sage who mentored a handful of members of Afenifere Group both dead and living. We in Omoluabi Team Alliance Socio- cultural and Political Group have our own ideologies and principles which first recognizes the need to advance, promote, defend and protect the interest of our people, the Southwest and the entire Yoruba nation across the globe. 

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains the best option for Nigeria now going by his enviable track records and this we pray gets divine backing by the gods of our land. We wait to respond to counter comments, and reactions that will be met with actions and responses from our Group if need be since this is enough signal to anyone who may wish to know that Omoluabi Team Alliance Socio- cultural and Political Group is a relevant voice in state, national and international matters and has absolute freedom to express such in befitting manners devoid of hate and slander.
