The Pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, Afeniphere, has asked Nigerian leaders, especially the Governor, to uphold the integrity of the state and reject efforts by political actors to tarnish their international reputation.
In a very strong statement on Monday, the Secretary of the Afenifere National Organizing, Abagun Kole Omololu, accused certain political figures of damaging the government of the Tinubu Bola President and damaged Nigeria’s image abroad for selfish benefits.
This group warns that such actions are at risk of crossing the lines from legitimate oppositions to be a direct danger of state democratic institutions and global positions.
“Afeniphere registered its deep anxiety in the maneuver which was increasingly calculated by certain political elements that intended to imagine the cohesion of the Federal Nigerian Republic and discredit the administration of the President of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu, both inside and outside our national border,” the statement said.
“This regulated campaign, often in a robbery rhetoric of Democratic differences of opinion, quickly violates the thin line between legitimate political opposition and attacks damage the global reputation of the country.”

The group warned that history would judge leaders strongly if they failed to act for the best interests of the country.
“We specifically call for members of the Progressive Governor Forum and the Southwest Governor Forum to rise to the opportunity and speak in a united and firm voice. Do not hold public office holders to allow political calculations while exceeding the superiority of national interests.
