2023 Presidency: Yoruba Leader, Ayo Adebanjo Backs Southeast, Gives Reason

Pa Ayo Adebanjo, leader of the Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, has thrown his weight behind the call for a Nigerian President of Southeast extraction.

Adebanjo, who spoke while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today, yesterday, said it is the turn of the Southeast to produce Nigeria’s President because other regions have ruled the country.

The Afenifere leader said: “How can you say rotation in the North and South, and when it comes to the South, it would be South-West and South-South every time?

“Is the South-East not part of the South? What is the moral we are talking about?

“Is it not the South-West that had Obasanjo serve for eight years, Osinbajo for another eight years as Vice President? South-South has served its own.
