Dele Farotimi appointed organising secretary of Adebanjo-led Afenifere faction
A faction of the pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, has appointed lawyer and activist Dele Farotimi as its national organising secretary.
Mr Farotimi’s appointment was announced in a communique on Tuesday after the faction’s general meeting at the residence of its leader, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, in Isanya Ogbo, Ogun State.
“The general meeting considered and approved the appointment of Barrister Dele Farotimi as the national organising secretary of the Afenifere,” it read.
The deputy leader, Oladipo Olaitan and the national publicity secretary, Justice Faloye, jointly signed the communique.
The development came a day after legal icon Afe Babalola agreed to drop a defamatory suit filed against Mr Farotimi in his book titled: “Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System” after appeals by some Yoruba elders.
