The Pan Yoruba Socio-political group, Afenifere, has denied a viral video with the ‘Quit Yorubaland ultimatum to Igbo in the south west Region by a Nigerian-UK based, Adeyinka Grandson. Adeyinka had issued a viral video on social media for some nationals especially the Igbo to quit Yoruba Land.
However, in a statement personally signed and by the National leader of Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti in Akure, Ondo State capital today October 25th, 2020.
Read the statement below:
Quit Yoruba Ultimatum:- Not Afenifere initiative
Our attention has been drawn to a Whatsapp video now going viral ,purportedly issued by one Adeyinka Grandson or his representative, giving a 48 hour ultimatum ending on Sunday October 25 , 2020 for some Nigerian nationals ,especially the Igbo, to quit Yorubaland.
Most embarrassing to me as Afenifere Leader was that the youngman who made the announcement kicked off with the well-known tune of Afenifere anthem , thus giving the impression that he was an Afenifere initiative.
This is to say that we do not know anything about the quit order nor are we in any way connected with its issuance of the initiators.
For the time being, in addition to our other releases, let us all maintain peace.
Thank you!
Signed
Chief R. F. Fasoranti OFR,
Leader of Afenifere
