▪️LEADERSHIP;

After Awolowo passed On, The leadership Fell On Ajasin, Then Adesanya, Then My Humble Self (Fasoranti).

▪️RESIGNATION (Fasoranti);
On Nov 1st, 2015

I Resigned My Position As Afenifere Leader Today Nov 1st, 2015.

I Felt The Organization Had Derailed From The Goals Of The Founding Fathers, To Unite All Yoruba, To Work In Unity With One Voice.

Afenifere Goals Have Not Been Actualized Because The Group Suffered Contradictions As Many Of It’s Members Found Voices In Different Political Parties.

I Also Felt At Old Age Of 89yrs And Failing Health, I Could Not Give My Best To Running The Revered Organization.

▪️RESIGNATION LETTER

My Resignation Letter Dated Nov 1st, 2015 (7yrs Ago) Was Copied To Leaders Of Afenifere; Ayo Adebanjo (New Leader), Lanihun Ajayi, Olu Falae, Supo Shonibare And All State Chairmen Of Afenifere.

▪️FASORANTI U-TURN @96?

So When Did Pa Fasoranti Who Voluntarily Resigned @89, Suddenly Re-Emerge As Afenifere Leader? You Can’t Eat Your Cake And Have It, Can You?

For A Mess Of Political Pottage, He May Forever Have Rubbished His Life Long Legacy Of Rectitude, His Moral Fibre, His Stoicism And Fortitude Especially After Loss Of Daughter Funke To Fulani Bandits 3yrs Ago.

▪️FASORANTI & TINUBU

Afenifere Minimum Irreducible Goal Remains RESTRUCTURING, If Not Self Determination.

Tinubu Has Long Jettisoned Restructuring For Sake Of Political Desperation And Expediency. In His Romance With The Caliphate North, His Desperation For Power, He Has Thrown The South Under The Bus.

Tinubu In Desperation, Has Picked A Muslim Muslim Ticket With VP Ethnic Bigot, Terrorist Sympathiser, Who Considers Restructuring A No-Go Area.

Tinubu Refused To Publicly Condemn Pa Fasoranti Daughter’s Murder @Ore By Fulani Bandits in 2019. He Belatedly Visited Akure 35days After The Tragic Killing Principally To Exonerate The Fulani. Tinubu Asked “Where Are The Cows?” – On His Caliphate Masters Prompting.

▪️Pa FASORANTI’S ENDORSEMENT

Pa Fasoranti’s Sneaking Back To Afenifere As Leader, Through The Backdoor Just To Endorse Tinubu, Represents An Astonishing About-Face In Leader Once Looked Up To As One Of Few Role Models Left In A Nation That Has Crashed On All Indices Of Justice And Progressiveness. It Is Heresy Against All Chief Awolowo Stood For. Besides As A Former Afenifere Leader, Can Fasoranti Give What He Doesn’t Have? Can He Endorse Anyone? Very Tragic Indeed.

▪️Pa AWOLOWO & TINUBU

Tinubu Is A Desperate Pretender To Chief Obafemi Awolowo Lofty Leadership And Ideals, Of Which He Tragically Falls Short – By His Ways And By His Means.

Obafemi Oyeniyi Awolowo, Had Impeccable Bona Fides. Born Mar 9th 1909 In Ikenne Ogun State, University Of London 1944, Egbe Omo Oduduwa 1945 (With Alakija & Ojikutu), Action Group 1951 (With Ajasin & Olagbeji) etc. Died May 9th, 1987 In Ikenne. Pa Awolowo’s Identity And What He Stood For, Was Inflexible And Cast In Rock. Can We Say The Same Of Tinubu?

If Pa Awolowo Was Here Today, Will He Have Endorsed Tinubu In His Political Marriage To Caliphate Irredentists And Hegemons? His Muslim/Muslim Adventure?

Definitely No Chance !!!
