The Pa Ayo Adebanjo-led faction of Afenifere, a pan-Yoruba sociopolitical group, has appointed lawyer and activist Dele Farotimi as its National Organising Secretary.
His appointment was approved during the group’s general meeting at Adebanjo’s residence in Isanya Ogbo, Ogun State, on Tuesday.
A communiqué issued after the meeting, signed by Deputy Leader Oba Oladipo Olaitan and National Publicity Secretary Prince Justice Faloye, confirmed the decision.
Farotimi’s appointment comes just a day after legal luminary Aare Afe Babalola agreed to withdraw a defamation lawsuit against him over claims made in his book, Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System.
