Chief Ayo Adebanjo has emerged as the acting national leader of the Pan -Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, succeeding Pa Reuben Fasoranti, who has stepped down from the position.
The 95-year-old Fasoranti cited old age as the reason for his stepping down, noting that the group needs a vibrant and active person to drive it.
He thereafter, named the former Deputy Leader, Chief Adebanjo as the acting national leader of the group, while the former Financial Secretary, Oba Oladipo Olaitan, the Alaago of Kajola Ago, Atakumosa East Council Area, Ilesa, Osun State was named the group’s deputy leader.
Fasoranti said: “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 Oba Oladipo Olaitan, the Alaago of Kajola Ago in Atakumosa East Local Government Area, as the deputy leader.”
