Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>A South-West based socio-political group, Afenifere has denied endorsing the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu or any aspirant for the 2023 presidential election.<\/p>\n

Recall that the leader of South West Agenda, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, in a statement on Tuesday claimed his group secured the support of Afenifere for its candidate during a visit to Pa Reuben Fasoranti, erstwhile Afenifere leader.<\/p>\n

However, Afenifere in a statement by its Director of Communications, Sola Lawal on Wednesday denied endorsing any candidate.<\/p>\n

Lawal stated that the group is still mourning the demise of its Publicity Secretary, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, adding that all engagements were also suspended in honour of the deceased.<\/p>\n

Lawal further noted that 96-year-old Pa Fasoranti had taken a \u201cdeserved rest when he formally handed over to Chief Ayo Adebanjo and the former couldn\u2019t have spoken for Afenifere during their visit to his Akure home.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have temporarily stopped all activities in honour of Odumakin who is still lying in the morgue, cold and lonely.<\/p>\n

\u201c Adeyeye\u2019s visit into Afenifere space at this period of huge loss and intense mourning is disrespectful and insensitive.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, being a former Afenifere top notch and Odumakin\u2019s immediate predecessor, Adeyeye should cease all activities and join us in mourning at this trying times,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
