In a statement issued on Sunday by the national organizing secretary, Abagun Kole Omololu, the group urged citizens to disregard the support for the protest from the Ayo Adebanjo-led faction. They emphasized that Adebanjo is not recognized as the leader of Afenifere.

Omololu clarified that any statements from Adebanjo or his representatives should not be regarded as the official position of Afenifere. “Pa Reuben Fasoranti remains the leader of Afenifere and the authentic voice of the group,” he asserted. “The role of acting leader held by Pa Ayo Adebanjo has been abolished, and the Council of Elders, led by Pa Fasoranti, now dictates Afenifere’s stance and direction.”

He further stated that communications from Adebanjo or his associates are not representative of Afenifere’s official position and should not be given media attention. “Pa Ayo Adebanjo’s views should be treated as his personal opinions, separate from Afenifere,” Omololu advised.

Omololu acknowledged the economic hardships and hunger that Nigerians are facing, noting that these issues are also affecting other countries globally. While recognizing citizens’ right to protest, he criticized the planned anti-Tinubu protest for its potentially harmful and violent undertones. He urged all responsible citizens and organizations to oppose such protests, especially as the government works to address the nation’s economic challenges.
