Peter Obi’s presidency just got another boost as Ayo Adebanjo, leader of Afenifere, a pan Yoruba socio-political organisation, endorsed him ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Adebanjo declared his support for the Labour Party candidate while featuring on Yoruba Gbode, an online radio programme, which was monitored by Quest Times on Tuesday.
The Yoruba leader said he has lost confidence in Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) flag-bearer, and Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) while pitching his tent with the Labour Party candidate who he described as someone who is best fitted for the job.

Adebanjo said Tinubu sold President Muhammadu Buhari to Nigerians in 2015, adding that he would give continuity to “incompetence” if elected.
“It is only Peter Obi that can rule independently without the influence of these criminals in the government. Tinubu will only give continuity to Buhari’s incompetence.
“We know Peter Obi very well, that’s why we endorsed him. He will not disappoint Nigerians, let’s put tribal differences apart and vote the right leader in.
“Tinubu sold Buhari to over 200 million Nigerians for his own selfish interest of wanting to rule after Buhari. None of them loves Nigeria,” he said.
