Pa Ayo Adebanjo-led faction of the pan Yoruba socio-political organisation Afenifere has appointed Dele Farotimi as its National Organising Secretary.
According to the group, his appointment was approved at the general meeting of Afenifere held at Adebanjo’s residence in Isanya Ogbo, Ogun State, on Tuesday.
In a communique issued after the meeting and jointly signed by the Deputy Leader, Oba Oladipo Olaitan and the National Publicity Secretary, Prince Justice Faloye, Afenifere said “The General Meeting considered and approved the appointment of Barrister Dele Farotimi as the National Organising Secretary of the Afenifere.”
Foratimi, a lawyer and activist was arrested, detained and charged to court for allegedly defaming Aare Afe Babalola
The activist was granted bail in the sum of N30 million by an Ekiti State High Court sitting in Ado-Ekiti where he was arraigned.
It is not certain how Foratimi would receive the development, but his appointment is coming barely 24 hours after Babalola agreed to drop a defamatory suit filed against him.
