In a statement, the Pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere has announced the suspension of its Publicity Secretary and its Organising Secretary, Mr Jare Ajayi and Abagun Kole Omololu respectively over alleged misconduct.
Afenifere also insisted that the 2023 presidential election of February 25, was not credible saying it was marred with lots of irregularities.
The group which maintained that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi won the last presidential poll, said it still stood by its position on the election.
These views and decisions were contained in a communique issued at the end of the Afenifere meeting held at the residence of the leader of the group, Pa Ayo Adebanjo at Isanya Ogbo, Ogun State on Tuesday.
The communique read in parts, “The results of the lawful votes at the presidential election available to the Afenifere through credible sources confirm that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, won the said election and we, thus, support his decision challenging the contrary declaration by the INEC.
“We re-assert that for equity, fairness, national cohesion and peaceful corporate existence, the next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria shall be a person of its southern part and specifically the Southeast.
“We condemn in the strongest terms, the campaigns of calumny and acts of ethnic violence deployed by some politicians and their hired criminal gangs in several parts of the federation during the gubernatorial election particularly Lagos State where the election was made to appear like an inter-ethnic war between the Yoruba and Igbo which greatly led to voters’ suppression and other forms of deliberate disenfranchisement through brigandage.”
