This statement is being issued because of the content of the said document,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSection 2.02 of the document claims that \u201cthe results of the lawful votes at the Presidential election available to the Afenifere through credible sources confirm that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, won the said election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfenifere could not have asserted that someone, other than the person declared by the body duly authorized by the Constitution and other extant laws of the land, is the winner of the presidential election held on February 25, 2023 in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe body mandated to conduct elections in Nigeria, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), after the completion of this year\u2019s presidential election on February 25th, has declared the candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu as the winner of the said election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur national publicity secretary of Afenifere, Comrade Jare Ajayi, issued a congratulatory message to the president-elect after he had been issued a certificate of return by INEC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was cited as an \u201cuncouth activity\u201d by the communique mentioned above which further stated that Abagun and Ajayi were suspended sine die pending further decisions after their appearance before and recommendations by the disciplinary committee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeaning that the two were pronounced guilty and consequently sanctioned even before their appearance before a disciplinary committee.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This type of position is alien to us in Afenifere which does not conduct itself as an agent of the state let alone as an electoral umpire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe accept the results of the elections at all levels as declared by INEC until otherwise decided by competent courts in the land.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt no time was any of these officials reported to me as doing anything against what Afenifere stands for or doing anything against the interests of our race, the Yoruba.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThus, at no time was I informed that they were queried, warned, or sanctioned for conducting themselves in a manner contrary to what Afenifere or the Yoruba stand for.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing an organisation that believes in justice and fairness, being an organisation that always maintains that those at the helms of affairs should follow the rule of law, Afenifere, our organisation, cannot just wake up and pronounce some officials removed and suspended without telling them what their offences are and without giving them the opportunities to defend themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuch a step is not only against natural justice; it is also in clear defiance of the law of the land. Afenifere believes in the rule of law and in the fundamental rights of all, including the right to a fair hearing. For these and other reasons, the purported removal and suspension are null and void.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since the emergence of Adebanjo as the new leader of Afenifere, the position of the socio-political group on national issues has always been contrary to the stance of Fasoranti, the erstwhile leader of the group.<\/p>\n<p>While Afenifere endorsed Peter Obi of the Labour Party for the presidential election, Fasoranti backed Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reuben Fasoranti, former leader of Afenifere, says the organisation recognises Bola Tinubu as Nigeria\u2019s president-elect.
