Afenifere, the Yoruba socio-political group, says the March 11 governorship election in Lagos is not a contest between people of the south-east extraction and Yoruba in the state.
Speaking at a press conference in Lagos on Wednesday, Supo Shonibare, leader of the group in the state, said the election is “a contest of ideas and those who think that we are at a stage where there should be a change in the polity”.
Shonibare called on Lagos residents to avoid provocative comments and urged them to vote for Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the candidate of the Labour Party (LP).
“Afenifere has noted the brazen desperation of the All Progressives Congress, APC party in Lagos state after all its efforts to create dissension, contrive misunderstanding and thereby foist on the people a situation of mutual hate and destroy have failed,” he said.
