By Kehinde Okeowo.
The leader of Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, Pa Ayo Adebanjo has clarified the misconception that he and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu are sworn enemies.
He made this known on Tuesday, November 21, while speaking at an event in Lagos.
According to the Afenifere leader, he sees the president as his son and not a foe but admits that they disagree politically.

Adebanjo during his speech went on to describe the former Lagos State governor as a loving young man who has never refused to grant him any favour he requested.
He said: “Anybody should be concerned about the unity of this country, about the progress of this country. Don’t tell me about any economic programme.
“Until you change this constitution, you go nowhere. And I urge you, I beseech you, anybody who is a nationalist, who loves this country today, particularly Bola Tinubu.
“I’m happy Professor Bolaji Akinyemi is here. You are Tinubu’s friend. I’m not his enemy. He is my son. The only difference is that we disagree politically.
“He is a loving young man. I have never asked for a favour that he has not given me”
Adebanjo went on to emphasize that they only differ in the area of national question, saying, “the issue is, the question of Nigeria to be together.”
