Elder statesman and Afenifere chieftain, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, has been endorsed to succeed Pa Reuben Fasoranti, as the leader of Pan-African Yoruba group, Afenifere.
In a statement, the outgoing leader, Pa Fasoranti, stated that he would step down for Adebanjo to take over the leadership of the Yoruba group.
Fasoranti in a statement said, “As the group needs more than ever before to have an improved organisation with a more effective approach to combat the monstrous invasion of our culture and pride as a people. Only a more alike and active leadership can achieve this. At 95 I am hardly able to provide such and so it is time for me to step aside.
“At this junction, I am proud to announce Chief Ayo Adebanjo a politician of the Awolowo school of thought as Acting leader of Afenifere and His Royal Highness, Oba Oladipo Olaitan, the Alaago of Kajola Ago in Atakumosa East Local Government Area, as the Deputy Leader”.
