The acting Leader of Afenifere, the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Ayo Adebanjo criticizes President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, and Bola Tinubu for their political opportunism and selfish-interests.
The leader claimed that Tinubu’s quest to becoming the President would fail even though he is yet to declare his interest for the 2023 race.
The new Afenifere leader also slammed Mr Tinubu and Mr Osinbajo as two-faced politicians for failing to advocate restructuring under Mr Buhari’s regime.
“But they are deceiving themselves that Buhari would hand over to him (Tinubu) since they supported him (Buhari),” said Mr Adebanjo. “I have said it openly before, and I would say it again that Buhari is deceiving Tinubu and Tinubu is deceiving Buhari.
“If Tinubu contests the primary in APC today, he will fail.”
In an interview published by Punch on Sunday, Mr Adebanjo derided the so-called gentleman agreement between Mr Tinubu and the president.
He explained, “I’m not telling you what people say. I want you to write what I say and when it happens, let us see who is right. People talk about an agreement between them, but Buhari is deceiving him, and he (Buhari) has an agenda of his own. All the time we have been shouting that Nigeria would break, what has Buhari said? What has he said to assuage those fears or to tell people it won’t happen?
“We just have to keep talking. That is why people are being killed, and he sits in the Aso Rock. People were killed and kidnapped, and he said we should make friends with our neighbours, and another time, it was to appease kidnappers with government money. We are all witnesses. Why are we all living in denial? If the people in government are living in denial, what about the victims? If you live in denial, you will die in it. Young people won’t say Adebanjo didn’t warn them.”
