CITIZENS COMPASS – THE pan-Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, has insisted that it would continue to support what it called “the victory of Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Obi has petitioned election tribunal to challenge the outcome of the presidential election, which Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) won.
But, in a communique signed after a meeting by the leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, and the group Secretary General Sola Ebiseni (retd), Afenifere strongly called on the judiciary to ensure all petitions in respect of the presidential election are “timeously and justly resolved before the end of the tenure of the Buhari administration.”
Afenifere described this as the only way through which the confidence Nigerians have in its intervention may be earned.
The group recalled that similar precedents in this regard have been laid, even by less endowed countries in Africa.
In the communique, Afenifere also asked the Federal Government not to be wasteful by committing about N100 billion to the coming population census.
