Ado Ekiti—The Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere,  has carpeted  the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Major-General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd)  as an advocate of Hausa /Fulani irredentist who does not believe in the corporate entity and oneness  of Nigeria.

The group also lauded the courage of President Goodluck Jonathan who it says sees the whole country as his constituency.

According to a statement  in Ado Ekiti, weekend, by the group and signed by Chief A. Alonge and Chief Femi Balogun, the state Chairman and Secretary respectively, Nigeria will be safe under Jonathan’s presidency

The group further lauded the endorsement of President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election by the Afenifere, saying: “Those interested in the restructuring of Nigeria must support the President Jonathan’s re-election because he had the courage to convoke the national conference and  he has promised to implement the report.”
