Afenifere, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, and Senator Femi Okunronmu, leaders of the pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, attended the Labour Party, LP, presidential campaign event in Ogun State on Saturday.
The Yoruba chiefs attended the campaign gathering to greet LP presidential candidate Peter Obi, his running partner Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, LP national Chairman Julius Abure, and other party leaders.
Speaking at the event, Adebanjo called All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Tinubu a failure.
The Afenifere leader told Tinubu to withdraw his candidature and join Peter Obi, saying the northerners he relies on would disappoint him.
“We are behind Obi. Leaders of the progressive movement are behind Peter Obi.
“Those fraudsters parading themselves as Yoruba do not love the country. Yorubas do not take things that belong to other tribes. A Yoruba has been President before.
“Atiku (Abubakar) is taking you for a fool, a Fulani man is about to leave.
“Please tell Tinubu that Hausas will not vote for him, tell him to come back and support Obi and Datti because they will defeat him and when they defeat him, he won’t be able to come back home,” Adebanjo said.
