The presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi has congratulated Afenifere leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo on his 95th birthday.
In a statement he released on Monday, Obi said he admired and respected Adebanjo’s courage in speaking up against bad governance and flawed public policies, adding that his patriotic fervour is exemplary.
Recall that Adebanjo-led Afenifere openly backed Obi’s presidential bid and Adebanjo physically attended LP presidential rallies.
Adebanjo said the pan-Yoruba sociopolitical group backed Obi for the sake of equity and inclusiveness, and his competence and character.
