The leader of pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, Ayo Adebanjo has said the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi is fighting for the oppressed.

Naija News reports Adebanjo made this known while appearing on Channels Television.

According to Adebanjo, Obi shared the same cause with the leadership of the Southern and Middle Belt Forum (SMBLF).

The Afenifere’s leader also added that the former Anambra State governor believes in restructuring.

Recall that Obi met with Adebanjo and SMBLF leadership in Lagos, where they exchanged ideas during the parley.

He said: “Obi came to meet Southern and Middlebelt leaders in my house. It was an exchange of views; we believe in the same cause.

“We are all partners in progress. The fight he is fighting is a fight for the oppressed.

“Restructuring was at the front burner; we should have a country first before we have any development plan. That is the pillar on which the Southern and Middlebelt leaders stand.

“Constitutional review, community policing, devolution of power and others are all embedded in restructuring. Where we have a constitution where everybody is dissatisfied, you won’t have peace and without peace, there will be no stability. These are fundamental.”

Lately, Obi has been meeting with relevant political stakeholders from the Southern part of the country, as well as churches.
