The leader of the
pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, Reuben Fasoranti, has resigned his
position. Mr.
Fasoranti, who became the leader of the group after the death of Abraham
Adesanya, said he had ceased being the chairman of the organization.
In
the letter addressed to the Secretary General, Seinde Arogbofa, and made
available, the octogenarian recalled a brief history of the group
from its formation in 1951 under the leadership of the late Obafemi Awolowo.
“Considering
my age, efforts and selfless dedication to my country, my state (Ondo), my
political parties, my past leaders and my members in Afenifere both in Nigeria
and in Diaspora, I hereby wish to inform you all that I have decided to step
aside as leader of our great organization Afenifere,” he said.
