Popular pan Yoruba group identified as Oodua Youth Parliament, (OYP) has disowned the factional Afenifere group led by Supo Shonibare, following the endorsement of Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour in Lagos.

The group said the factional Afenifere group neither represent nor speak for the yoruba race, adding the group was only fighting for its selfish interest.

Frowning at factional Afenifere’s support for Rhodes-Vivour, OYP also warned the factional group to stay away from Southwest Politics.

He said just like the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi was defeated in the recently concluded presidential poll, Vivour-Rhodes will also lost to the incumbent Lagos state Governor Sanwolu in the gubernatorial election.

According to Aare Oyeniyi, “It’s unfortunate that this Factional Afenifere group that is supposed to rallied round and ensure yoruba victory in Lagos are now rooting for a Labour Party candidate with questionable identity in Lagos for their selfish interest.
