Afenifere, a prominent Yoruba socio-political group, has strongly denied a recent statement released by individuals claiming to represent the organization in the United Kingdom and the United States. The group, known for its advocacy for the Yoruba people, has firmly asserted that these individuals were expelled from Afenifere over two years ago and do not hold any official positions within the organization. This denial stems from a statement issued by two groups claiming to be the United Kingdom and United States chapters of Afenifere, rejecting the appointment of Oba Oladipo Olaitan as the association’s leader.
Afenifere has made it clear that the individuals behind this statement are no longer affiliated with the group, and their actions do not reflect the views or positions of Afenifere. The group emphasized that the expelled individuals were removed due to their actions and beliefs, which were deemed incompatible with the principles and values of Afenifere. The group has further clarified that its legitimate leadership in the diaspora remains unchanged, with the recognized chairmen and secretaries in both the US and UK still holding their positions. Afenifere has stated that the expelled individuals do not represent Afenifere in any capacity, and their claims should be disregarded.
The statement released by the expelled individuals has been met with strong criticism from within Afenifere, with many members expressing their disappointment and anger at the actions of these former members. Afenifere has also condemned the use of the organization’s name by individuals who are no longer affiliated with it, stating that such actions are misleading and undermine the group’s reputation. The group has vowed to take all necessary steps to ensure that its name is not used by individuals who are not authorized to represent it.
Afenifere asserts that these individuals were expelled from the group over two years ago and do not represent the organization.
“For the records, those who signed the statement were expelled from Afenifere more than two years ago and do not represent Afenifere in the US and the UK.
“Though it is obvious from the crude and uncouth language of the publication, that such a statement could never emanate from any branch of Afenifere in the diaspora, yet it is important to set the record straight.”
Afenifere clarified that its legitimate leadership in the US and UK remains unchanged.
“The chairman and Secretary of Afenifere in the USA are Prof. Sikiru Fadairo and Mr. David Adenekan. The chairman and Secretary of Afenifere in the UK are Mr. Seyi Adefisan and Prof. Seun Kolade.
“These are respected and polished men leading Afenifere in the US and the UK Diaspora.
“Any statement from the Afenifere Diaspora in the US or UK not signed by either of the above should be discountenanced”, the pan-Yoruba socio-political group added.
Afenifere also addressed attacks on its leader, Oba Oladipo Olaitan, condemning the allegations as baseless and motivated by personal interests.
“The diatribe launched on the person of the Leader of Afenifere, Oba Oladipo Olaitan, demonstrates the depth of ignorance and the laziness of those who signed that statement.
“More than three years ago, Oba Olaitan was appointed a substantive deputy leader of Afenifere by Pa Fasoranti, the former leader of Afenifere, and he performed creditably under the late Leader, Pa Ayo Adebanjo.
“Since when can a man be a deputy leader but is precluded from being a Leader? If these political jobbers who signed the offending statement, are just suggesting that Oba Olaitan is not qualified to be leader, then they question Pa Fasoranti’s competence in his appointments – something they are far too low to do. This also shows that they are fake officers of Afenifere”, the group further stated
