The organization has been polarized into two factions, one is headed by Pa Reuben Fasoranti and the other by Pa Ayo Adebanjo.
While Fasoranti faction regarded as the authentic organization congratulated Tinubu, the Adebanjo faction pull their weight behind the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi.
It was under this confusion that Adebanjo’s faction announced the suspension of its Publicity Secretary and its Organising Secretary, Mr Jare Ajayi and Abagun Kole Omololu respectively over alleged misconduct.
The group also insisted that the 2023 Presidential election of February 25, was not credible saying it was marred with lots of irregularities.

The group which insisted that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi won the last presidential poll, said it still stood by its position on the election.
The communique read in parts, ” The results of the lawful votes at the presidential election available to the Afenifere through credible sources confirm that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, won the said election and we, thus, support his decision challenging the contrary declaration by the INEC.
” We re-assert that for equity, fairness, national cohesion and peaceful corporate existence, the next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria shall be a person of its southern part and specifically the South-East.
” We condemn in the strongest terms, the campaigns of calumny and acts of ethnic violence deployed by some politicians and their hired criminal gangs in several parts of the federation during the gubernatorial election particularly Lagos State where the election was made to appear like an inter-ethnic war between the Yoruba and Igbo which greatly led to voters’ suppression and other forms of deliberate disenfranchisement through brigandage.”
