The new appointees are Agbaakin Ademola Babatunde Folarin as Secretary General, Alagba Dare Babarinsa as Treasurer, and Barrister Lanre Omisore as Financial Secretary. These individuals will join the existing team of officers, which includes Abagun Kole Omololu as National Organisation Secretary, Dr. Akin Onigbinde, SAN, as Legal Adviser, and Comrade Jare Ajayi as National Publicity Secretary.

The appointments were formally made by the National Leader of Afenifere, Chief Reuben Famuyide Fasoranti, OFR, during a Caucus meeting held at his residence in Akure, Ondo State, on August 20, 2024. The Caucus has since ratified these appointments.

Additionally, the press release confirmed Dr. Olusegun Mimiko’s role as Chairman of the Reconciliation Committee, a position previously endorsed by the Caucus.

Ajayi highlighted that, in accordance with Afenifere’s traditions, the Leader holds the authority to appoint officers to manage the organization’s operations.

Folarin, the new Secretary General, is a seasoned lawyer with over forty years of experience and is known for his philanthropic work. Although he is a prominent figure, he maintains a low profile and is recognized as the Agbaakin Mayegun of Ibadanland.

Alagba Babarinsa, the new Treasurer, is a veteran journalist with a career spanning more than four decades. He was among the founding members of the now-defunct Concord newspaper and played a key role in the establishment of Tell magazine.

Barrister Omisore, who has extensive legal experience in both Nigeria and the UK, joins as the Financial Secretary.

Ajayi noted that, as affirmed by Pa Fasoranti, these appointments will take immediate effect.
