A motion was moved to this effect by a retired Prof of Surgery, Samuel Ibikunle and seconded by Agboluaje from Oyo State, TVC reported.
This followed the recommendation of the Afenifere elders’ forum, The Punch reported.
Addressing reporters at the end of the meeting, the spokesperson of Afenifere, Jare Ajayi, said the step was taken to ensure unity and address polarization.
Recall that Adebanjo fell apart with Fasoranti, leading to the latter coming out to explain that the former was appointed to act on his behalf because of his old age.
