The leader of Pan Yoruba Socio- political group Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti says the group is in a sorry state and requires urgent restoration effort to steer it away from the current trajectory.
Fasoranti, who said that the present state of the group was not his vision and expectation when he appointed the acting leader and deputy leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo.
’’I am sad and disappointed at the turn of events is an understatement,” Pa Fasoranti said on Wednesday in Akure.
Speaking at the meeting of the group held in Akure, the state capital, Fasoranti said “I am particularly disturbed because unless we take urgent remedial action, the future looks very bleak and the necessary resources to revamp our organization are being depleted by the day.
“A noticeable drift away from our core values of Afenifere which is based on consultation, brotherliness and camaraderie and traditional process of conducting the business of the organization, upon which our collegial system of leadership is based, has been severely threatened.
“This threat has been further exacerbated by more recent events, culminating in a fracture of the traditional backbone of the Afenifere organization.
“I am sorry to say, without mincing words, that our organization is in a sorry state and requires urgent restoration efforts to steer it away from the current trajectory.
“I have called you here today therefore, as leaders and responsible members of this organization, to challenge yourself to find a lasting solution to the current impasse.
“I implore you to engage frankly and honestly in the spirit of comradeship and mutual respect for which we are well known and upon which this organization is founded.’’
