Plans to reconcile Ayo Adebanjo and Reuben Fasoranti, the two national leaders of the Afenifere people, have been made public by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde. Makinde revealed this to the media during a private meeting with the Afenifere leaders.
The governor claimed that since the elections were done, the two Afenifere leaders ought to make up.
Adebanjo backed Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP), whereas Fasoranti supported President Bola Tinubu.
Makinde, however, stated
“We’re all aware of the issues between our two leaders, and leaders of Afenifere, Baba Ayo Adebanjo and Pa Reuben Fasoranti.
“Partisan issues and elections have come and gone and now we’re talking about the unity of the Yoruba race.
“And these frontline leaders of Afenifere, thought it fit to come together and start the process of seeking unity in Yorubaland.
“Once they see the two Babas come together, we won’t even need to appeal to the people because, at that time, you won’t have to talk much, people would have seen that the two leaders are now back together.”
He said that once Adebanjo and Fasoranti reconciled, the followers would follow suit.
