Afenifere leadership will emerge without a contest, Falae says

Chief Olu Falae says Afenifere, the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, will select its next leader through its established tradition, without a contest or internal struggle. Speaking in Akure, he praised former leader Pa Reuben Fasoranti for his patience, mediation in disputes and support for pupils from poor families when he was principal of Iju/Itaogbolu Grammar School. Falae called Fasoranti’s death a major loss to the political, religious and social life of Akure, Ondo State and the Yoruba nation. He also recalled the succession process after Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s death, though the supplied article cuts off before giving the rest of his account.
