I Won’t Get My Hopes Up Ahead Of 2023 Elections – Pa Adebanjo

Leader of Pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, Pa Ayo Adebanjo has come out to say that he does not believe in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.

He recently revealed this during an interview with PUNCH, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he is of this opinion because of the worsening security situations in the country and he doesn’t want to waste his time getting his hopes up.

Pa Ayo Adebanjo added that it is a shame to see that even those who came into office advocating federalism like Osinbajo, Tinubu, Osoba, Akande are now against restructuring.

His words, “I don’t believe in 2023, so don’t waste your time. I don’t believe under the present insecurity situation in the country, killings here, kidnappings there, raping there, we can have an election.”

“Even those who came into office advocating federalism like Osinbajo, Tinubu, Osoba, Akande. You remember how they came into office under restructuring, they now say restructuring is not their priority.”

“Osinbajo is now telling us that there are many things to restructuring, which one are they talking of. The restructuring they put in the manifesto of APC, which one is that? The restructuring el-Rufai recommended in 2018, which one is that?”

“The restructuring Buhari agreed with (Tunde) Bakare and he contested election with him in 2011, which one is that? Bakare still says it loud and clear that it is restructuring I agreed with you before I contested election with you.”

“How can you say a product of the fraud would amend the fraud?”

“They cannot rule us under the rule of the thumb and those of us who fought for democracy will keep quiet? No, it can’t work.”

“In 2021, Buhari telling me Nigeria’s constitution is not negotiable? What a balderdash! What an insult! That is not the agreement we made with the founding fathers.”

“Who made this constitution? Is it ours? Let him (Buhari) dispute that.”
