A group that called itself Yoruba Afenifere Youth Organisation of Nigeria (YAYON) on Tuesday staged a protest in Akure, the Ondo State, and demanded that the acting leader of the South-West apex socio-political organisation, Afenifere, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, step down from the position.
The protesters, who also stormed the Akure residence of the Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, appealed to him to intervene in the organisation’s crisis.
Fasonranti in 2021 cited old age as the reason for his decision to step down as leader of the group he led since 2008 and named Adebanjo as acting leader of the body.
