The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere has said that the country must be restructured before the 2023 general elections and insisting that the country must return to the 1963 Constitution to be on the right path.
In a communiqué made available to journalists by its National Publicity Secretary, Jare Ajayi, Afenifere stated this at the end of its meeting held at the house of the Acting Leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, at Sanya-Ogbo, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State.
Adebanjo presided over the meeting, while participants came from all the states in the South-West, as well as Kwara and Kogi states.
The meeting deliberated on social, political, security and economic situations of the country, lamenting that the country is going through a lot of trauma.
The group also deliberated on the consistent advocacy by Dr. Ahmed Gumi on the government to pardon terrorists and to even compensate them in various ways.
In another development, Chairman of Afenifere Renewal Group (ARG), Wale Oshun, has urged the new executive members of Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) to sustain the legacy of the founder of the organisation, the late Dr. Fredrick Fasehun, by continuous demand for restructuring of Nigeria to true federalism, resource control and equal opportunity for all Nigerians.
Oshun, who spoke at the inauguration of the executives in Lagos, also enjoined members of the Congress that the only way they could sustain and achieve what Fasehun stood for is by working in harmony and doing everything possible to ensure Nigeria remains one despite the demand for restructuring.
He stressed the need for all groups of OPC under the leadership of Aare Ona Kakanfo, Iba Gani Adams and Osibote to harmonise in fighting the true course of Yoruba nation.
