Something is going wrong in Aso Rock — Afenifere react to Osinbajo’s ordeal

Vice president, Yemi Osinbajo 

Yoruba socio- cultural group, Afenifere, has reacted to reports that Vice president, Yemi Osinbajo must seek approval for agencies under his watch from president Muhammadu Buhari henceforth. The group insinuates that something must have gone wrong between the president and the vice.



The group says from the look of things, the office of the Vice president has been rendered useless, impotent and irrelevant.

It, however, said it would be too early to speculate if Osinbajo’s “ordeal ” was caused by any misdemeanor on his part or if it was based on permutations ahead of the 2023 general elections.




The spokesman for Afenifere, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, said this during an interview with The PUNCH on Wednesday.

He said, “We are watching as events unfold. We are studying the situation, but we must also not muddle up issues.

“For now, we will not jump into any premature conclusion that this is about 2023 alone.


“We will need more information to know whether it is political or whether there was abuse of office or process.

“But the barrage of the last 48 hours shows that there is something wrong.

“We will wait to have all the facts because we don ’t want to say a Yoruba man is being attacked.

“They may have had a justifiable reason to do so; but we are taking note of every development and at the appropriate time, we will make our position known.



“But clearly, what has happened is that the VP’s office has been rendered impotent, useless and irrelevant.”
