Leader of Afenifere, a pan Yoruba socio-political organisation, Pa Ayo Adebanjo has endorsed presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
Adebanjo in a statement on Tuesday said Obi would not disappoint Nigerians if he wins next year’s election.
According to him, Obi has the ability to “rule independently” and transform the Nation.
The elder statesman noted that he has lost confidence in Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) flag bearer, and Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“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,” he said.
“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,” he added.
