The pan-Yoruba socio-political group, 
Afenifere, has rejected the resignation of Pa Reuben Fasoranti as the 
leader of the group and has thus begged the octogenarian to rescind his 
decision and continue to lead the association.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This was against the expectation that the group would appoint a new leader on Wednesday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Publicity Secretary of the 
association, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, disclosed this while addressing 
journalists at the end of the meeting held at Fasoranti’s residence in 
Akure, the Ondo State capital, on Wednesday.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Odumakin explained that members of the 
association, at the meeting, pleaded with Pa Fasoranti to withdraw his 
resignation and to continue to lead Afenifere.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He added that after much pleading, Fasoranti agreed to continue as the leader of the group.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The meeting resolved to urge him to continue as the leader of Afenifere and <em>Baba </em>(Fasoranti) has agreed to withdraw his resignation letter and continue as our leader. The good news is that <em>Baba</em> has withdrawn his decision to step aside,” the Afenifere’s spokesperson stated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fasoranti, while reacting to the 
development, said he had accepted the resolution of the meeting and 
agreed to continue to lead the group.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the allegation of disunity among the 
members, Odumakin said there was no crack in the Afenifere family, 
insisting that the leadership would continue to uphold the ideals of the
 founding fathers of the association.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We want to state that there is no crack
 in Afenifere and we remain committed to the great ideals of our 
founding fathers,” he added.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Odumakin, however, noted that there was 
no plan by the group to choose any leader in an acting capacity when the
 current leader (Fasoranti) is still alive. He said if that would 
happen, it would be an internal arrangement within the group to choose a
 person to act.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The meeting which lasted for several 
hours, had in attendance dignitaries including the Ondo State Governor, 
Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, a former Minister of Finance, 
Chief Olu Falae, Chief Korede Duyile, and Chief Supo Sonibare.</div>
Fasoranti had on Sunday resigned as the group’s leader on the grounds of alleged disunity among its members. <strong><em></em></strong><div style="text-align: justify;">
