The Yoruba Youth Socio-Cultural Association has said the support which the Afenifere declared for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, is inconsequential and will not translate to votes.
The National President of the YYSA, Olalekan Hammed, said the youths would support the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, not because he is from the South-West but because he is the most qualified among the contestants.
The YYSA statement came on Monday in response to the statement by the Afenifere leader, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, who insisted that the Yoruba socio-political group would not support Tinubu or the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

The YYSA statement read, “Afenifere is not a Yoruba voice of rekoning. We Yoruba youths are the dominant population. We are the majority and Afenifere is not speaking on our behalf.
“Apart from the fact that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is from South-West, non of the contenders matches him in terms of intellectual capacity and exposure. His competency is undoubtedly unraveled, he showed this during his time as Lagos State governor.
“The innovative ideas that made Lagos State stands apart are enough evidence of his leadership ability in terms of governance.
” But Afenifere has been blindfolded to all these because of its political leanings. The entire Yoruba youths are solidly in support of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.”
Adebanjo said Afenifere would support Obi because he is from the South-East and that equity demands that the Igbo, who are from the region should produce the next president of Nigeria in 2023.
The nonagenarian statement read in part, “The South-West, as I have pointed out, has produced a president and currently sits as VP, the South-South has spent a total of six years in the Presidency, but the Igbo people of the South-East have never tasted presidency in Nigeria, and now that the power is due back in the South, equity demands that it be ceded to the Igbo.
“We cannot continue to demand that the Igbo people remain in Nigeria, while we at the same time continue to brutally marginalise and exclude them from the power dynamics.”

Ayo Adebanjo IS A SENILE LIAR WHOSE HATEFUL SPLEEN HAS TAKEN HOLD OF HIS ENTIRETY.
The unwholesome fabric of Ayo Adebanjo is all about FALLACY FARCE and FALSEHOOD. He should be asked the questions
WHO WAS nnamdi Azikwe AND WHAT POSITION DID HE HOLD IN THE NIGERIAN POLITICAL SPACE.?
WHO WAS Agwuyi Nrosi AND WHAT POSITION DID HE HOLD IN THE POLITICAL HISTORY OF NIGERIA?
WAS Dr. Alex Ekweme NOT VICE PRESIDENT UNDER PRESIDENT Shehu Shagari IN THE SECOND REPUBLIC.
The UNTRUTHFUL liar old cargo is full of and filled with NONSENSICAL conjectures and a vessel of concocted history and contraptions of depreciating depleting white substance of the cranium. Ayo Adebanjo is a baggage of thrash and UNWORTHY cum devoid of sanity for his age and deserves to be IGNORED for he has turned out to be on the way to his grave. Most UNFORTUNATE for the aged scallywag.
ABSOLUTELY! HE SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF IN A SOLILOQUE AND Bayo Onanuga IN THE BELOW PHRASE PUT IT IN THE APPRIOPRATE FASHION.
“Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, the APC flag bearer stressed that, as an individual, Adebanjo cannot equate himself with the socio-cultural and socio-political organisation.
“Papa Ayo Adebanjo does not speak for Afenifere. He is free as an individual to support anyone he likes, in furtherance of his democratic right.”.
THE HATE SLEAVE SENILE CANNOT APPROPRIATE THE REPRESENTATION OF Yoruba.
Pa Fasonranti has averred severally that the views of Ayo Adebanjo neither represents the yearnings and aspirations of the Afenifere nor the Yoruba.
Ayo Adebanjo is at liberty to continue his SHAMELESS marketplace dance.
PEOPLE GROE UP TO BECOME WISE NOT RETARDED AND OR UNWISE. OLD AGE SHOULD BE PLATFORM AND PREMISE FOR WISDOM.
Unfortunately, Ayo Adebanjo acts in contrast with contravention of the realm.
