“The new Chairman, Oba Falae, is a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), among other important offices he has held.
According to the communique, “The meeting considered various challenges confronting the nation currently.


“Since we have subjected these issues to rigorous interrogations severally, we have come to the conclusion that the most potent means of tackling the challenges is Restructuring.

“We are therefore calling on the Federal Government under President Bola Tinubu and the National Assembly to set the machinery in motion to restructure the country as a matter of urgency.


“As we congratulate the present istration for clocking two years in office, we urge it to make Restructuring one of the major policies in its third year in office.

“Afenifere, at the meeting, heartily congratulated President Bola Tinubu as his istration clocks two years in office.


”It expressed the hope that the istration will use the remaining period of its tenure to more effectively address issues that are bothering Nigerians.

“While we take note of the reports by the the National Bureau of Statistics, NBS, on inflation, we wish to emphasize that food inflation and transport costs are still very burdensome.


“We therefore implore the federal government to take urgent actions to ease the situation.

“Afenifere took note of the good intention of the Federal Government on the initiative for the National Forestry Guards, but the organization is of the opinion that the implementation should be by the States as part of the decentralization of security architecture.

The meeting was attended by from the Yoruba States that made up Afenifere, including Kogi and Kwara States as well as Dr. Olusegun Mimiko and Chief Tokunbo Ajasin.

In 1999, Yoruba presented this man as President, an astute economist but Nigerians rejected him for a soldier. In 2023, Yoruba presented a first class ant, this time, he was accepted.

The Yoruba preferred olu falae in 1999 but others wanted Obasanjo.

Obasanjo won him hands down, though he won in most of the Yoruba state. He even won in obj's ward in Ogun state.

That's a typical example that just one region can't decide who will become president.

Adebanjo was a pathetic, jealous, hate-filled leader. He will not be missed.

No faction exists in Afenifere.

We recognize Pa Fasonranti's leadership.

I strongly disagree with this.

Yes, Falae was unanimously ed and presented by the Yoruba people for 1999 that was meant to compensate the tribe and roundly rejected by the usual suspects who chose to put an apparent "Nigerian" there.

However, Yorubas did not unanimously present Tinubu, he went out, demanded it, and took it !!

At least he had told you people over and over again that what he was going to do, and that was what eventually happened.

Believe ronus at your own peril - they'll shout restructuring in the open, only to advise their son-president otherwise in night.

You are deceiving yourself, this was also how they asked Pa Adebanjo to take over from Pa Fasonranti because of old age and Tinubu and his gang never allow the man to do his work because he was always talking about equity in the Nigerian politics.

So now, you have recognized that soldier as a Yoruba man.

If tribalism no wound some of una, una no go rest.
