The group (YMG) is poised to take over from Afenifere

Recall there was a division within the yoruba group called Afenifere over the 2023 general election’s endorsement of presidential candidates.

While Fasoranti endorsed Tinubu of APC and Adebanjo backed presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi.

In March 2021, 96-year-old Fasoranti stepped down as National Leader of Afenifere, the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, citing old age. He handed over to 93-year-old Ayo Adebanjo as the Acting National Leader.

Voice Air Media reported that Bola Tinubu from the APC won the presidential election of February 25th, 2023.
