Amid the controversies that has trailed the endorsement of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu by the Yoruba Socio-Political Group, Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti has insisted that as the leader of the group, the endorsement remains valid.

This was as there were claims that the group had earlier endorsed the candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi.

However, Fasoranti declared that “I am still the leader of Afenifere. Afenifere has not endorsed Obi, we are endorsing Jagaban (Bola Ahmed Tinubu) for the presidency.

“As you can see, the trend, the approval and the acceptability. You could see what happened when Tinubu came to meet me in Akure. Media carried the whole thing.

“Adebanjo does not have the capacity to warn me not to welcome Tinubu. Can he do that successfully?

“What happened was that Adebanjo took a stand and I took a stand. I didn’t call him and he didn’t call me. We never spoke about the visit.

He added that “As you can see, Jagaban is accepted and we approve of him. Obi has no stand in our mind at all.”
