Afenifere Speaks On Peter Obi As Running Mate for Atiku In 2019

The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere has reacted to the choice of Peter Obi as Atiku Abubakar’s running mate.

Afenifere leaders actually told Atiku that they will use Restructuring for the SW, and that SW are ready to jettison Osinbajo and Vote for Peter Obi.

PDP had a Sitting Governor in Ondo in 2015, Afenifere declared for PDP in 2015, Even Olusola Oke and Co were in the PDP in 2015, Olu Falae supported the PDP, still PDP lost that State to the APC.

Before Atiku writes another Cheque for Afenifere, he should think of Falae's N100m.

Speaking on Atiku’s decision, Afenifere’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr Yinka Odumakin in a short statement urged both Atiku and Obi to remain steadfast in restructuring the country.

The statement read: “All we concerned about at this stage is there were commitments by Atiku about the restructuring of Nigeria.

“If it is true that he has picked Peter Obi as his running mate, he should join him to work out clear cut programme on restructuring and ensure that ensure that he remains steadfast on that because that is the main issue that will determine the next election.”
