The National Leader of the Pan Yoruba Socio- Political Group, Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti has stepped down citing old age.
Fasoranti is 95 years old
He has named the former deputy leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo as the acting national leader of the group while the former financial secretary, Oba Oladipo Olaitan, the Alaago of Kajola Ago, in Osun state was named the group’s deputy national leader.
Pa Fasoranti said this during the group’s monthly meeting held in Akure, the Ondo state capital on Tuesday.

He said the development became necessary as the group needs more than ever before to have an improved organisation with a more effective approach to combat what he called the monstrous invasion of the Yoruba culture and pride.
The group also called on the Federal Government to commence the process of establishing state police and restructuring of the country.
