An Elder Statesman and Afenifere Leader, Pa Ayo Adebanjo has alleged that the Afenifere social cultural group support for Mr. Peter Obi is based on the Unity of Nigeria. He said in an interview with Arise Tv news that the Presidency should have been zoned to the South East without any argument. He stated categorically that the Igbos have been shortchanged from political positions over the last couple of years.
He said, ”We have been complaining about the failures of the previous administration and its woeful performance. But what we are majorly saying is that a significant section of the country has been shortchanged. If we are not subscribing to United Nigeria, we should be clear about it. But we cannot discriminate against a major tribe, the Igbos deserves the Presidency. That is why we supported Peter Obi. And it is based on the constitution of Nigeria which we should have followed without argument. We must adhere to the ideology that makes us one in Nigeria.”
