Afenifere rejects Fasoranti’s call for Yoruba to shun protests over economic hardship

The pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, on Monday publicly disagreed with a recent statement by its leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, urging the Yoruba people to not participate in planned protests against the current economic hardship in the country.

On Monday, Pa Fasoranti publicly advised the Yoruba people to avoid joining the nationwide protests organized by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and other groups.

Afenifere, through its National Publicity Secretary, Mogaji Gboyega Adejumo, and Deputy Publicity Secretary, Prince Justice Faloye, issued a statement on Monday expressing their disagreement with Fasoranti’s position.
