The Pan Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, has named
the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, and the Olu of
ilu-Abo in Akure North council area of Ondo State, Oba Olu Falae, as the
chairman of the National Executive Committee of the group.
The group, rising from its monthly meeting held at the
country home of its national leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, in Akure, also
insisted on the restructuring of the country and expressed worries over
insecurity, amongst other challenges bedeviling the country.
The National Publicity Secretary, Jare Ajayi, while briefing
journalists after the meeting, said that the appointment of Falae was made by
the group’s national leader, Fasoranti.
Ajayi reiterated that the appointment was to reposition the
organisation.
“Oba Falae’s appointment is meant to reinvigorate the
organisation with a view to ensuring that the House of Oduduwa is back on track
to project the Yoruba mandate.
“The new Chairman, Oba Falae, is a former Secretary to the
Government of the Federation, SGF, among other important offices he has held.
The meeting considered various challenges confronting the nation currently.
“Since we have subjected these issues to rigorous
interrogations severally, we have come to the conclusion that the most potent
means of tackling the challenges is Restructuring.
“We are therefore calling on the Federal Government under
President Bola Tinubu and the National Assembly to set the machinery in motion
to restructure the country as a matter of urgency,” he said.
Speaking on his appointment, Falae promised to unite all the
factions in Afenifere, thanking Fasoranti for appointing him.
“By the grace of God and with the support of Afenifere and
the Yoruba nation, we’ll succeed in bringing the other groups, everybody
together.
“I intend to do all I can to bring all factions of Afenifere
together in Papa’s lifetime,” he said.
Also speaking, the National Organizing Secretary of the
group, Apagun Kole Omololu, assured that the newly appointed chairman, Falae,
would reunite the group.
