Afenifere said it had been inundated with complaints from sons and daughters of Yoruba extraction hence its reaction.
In a statement issued by the National Organising Secretary of the group, Abagun Omololu on Sunday, March 26, 2023, and titled ‘Re: The divisive Awka comment by Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu,’ the Afenifere alleged that Iwuanyanwu maligned the Yoruba race.
This followed the Ohanaeze leader’s remarks in Anambra on Saturday where he described as “political rascals” those individuals fanning the embers of ethnic discord in Lagos.
