SAN FRANCISCO, September 05, (THEWILL) – Pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has refutef reports that it had adopted a Presidential aspirant for the 2019 general elections describing it as lies.
According to a statement by its leader, Chief Reuben Fasoranti, the organisation said it was presently preoccupied with engaging Presidential aspirants vis-a-vis its conviction that for Nigeria to make progress, the country must be restructured into a truly federal polity.
While advising the public to “wait for the appropriate time when we shall speak to our country”, the organisation declared that it was fully committed to the goal of saving Nigeria from collapse.
“The attention of Afenifere has been drawn to a spurious report in circulation that the group has adopted a presidential aspirant for the 2019 elections.
“We ordinarily would have ignored the report as it makes no sense to suggest that a serious group would adopt an aspirant when political parties have yet to produce candidates.
“A rebuttal is, however, being issued for the sake of the unwary who may be hoodwinked by the said report,” the statement read.
