* Says: North won’t vote you
Leader of the pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organization – Afenifere – Pa Ayo Adebanjo, has told the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu that it amounts to self delusion to think that northerners will vote him at the February 25 election.
He, therefore, urged the former governor of Lagos State to quit the race, and support the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi.
Adebanjo made the submission while addressing the crowd of supporters at the Labour Party rally in Ogun State held at the Ake Palace ground in Abeokuta.
According to the Afenifere leader, the North will disappoint Tinubu in the 2023 election; therefore, the former governor of Lagos State should join the Obi/Datti movement before it is too late.
“All those that know Tinubu should tell him. I have always told him, and I will tell him again. Northerners will not vote for him.
“He (Tinubu) should come back home now and support Peter Obi, because when they finally defeat him, he won’t have the courage to come back home again.
“If he comes back now, we will forgive him, and take him back,” Pa Adebanjo said.
Speaking further, the Afenifere leader described Labour Party as the new National Democratic Coalition (NADECO).
He added that the LP is set to save Nigerians from the misrule of the APC and the captivity of the ruling class.
“I have told you before, and I want to say it again. Labour Party is now like NADECO. Those of us supporting Obi are the ones that want good governance. We want Nigeria to be better. We want to liberate ourselves from the captivity of the ruling class,” the nonagenarian declared.
