Bisi Akande Declares Afenifere Dead and Gone
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Chief Bisi Akande, former Chairman of Afenifere in Osun State, former Governor of Osun State, and ex-National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), declares that Afenifere, the once-powerful pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organization, is "dead and gone." He reflects on the decline of the group and its loss of influence, and what this means for Yoruba political unity.
As the author of My Participation: An Autobiography, Akande shares deep insights into his political journey and the shifting dynamics of Yoruba leadership.
Is Afenifere truly finished, or is there still a future for the organisation?

Hi Edmund, i suggest you interview this baba Adebanjo. He has a lots to explain to the Yoruba people, his participation in both past and present events. The baba is quite controversial. Pls do before he passes on
Lol at "the Baba is quite controversial" 😂😂😂
So it's Adebanjo that isn't controversial? Please keep your opinion and bias comment with yourself.
I wholeheartedly concur regarding Pa Baba Adebanjo!
Very true...his reputation among yorubas is already soiled

History is light and very powerful tool with which a future can be projected.
Baba Akande is honest.
How can this gbenga adaramola be shamelessly be saying that this old liar is being honest.This man claimed that Obidients was formed before ##Endsars. You prefer to forget that ##Endsars 2020 was because of police brutality mainly in Lagos. It climaxed with the Ughelli killing long before Obidients was formed in 2022.It is the child of a liar that will support this old liar.with politicians like this,no wonder Nigeria is a failed State and the poorest nation on earth.stop supporting evil for Nigeria to progress.God hates liars
Both of you are criminally dishonest
Edmund who are you? An investigative journalism? A rare gem demure? A CID secret officer? Is the courageous,boldness and fearless for me? Please 🙏 take this to de next level. He asked every damn as a patriotic Nigerian not as an igbos or calabar or whatsoever you call them. He's thirsty for the truth
May God help us all
Pa Bisi Akande: "I was ruling in Osun..." his rulership indeed saw many teachers sacked unjustifiably at the time, which almost led to the total collapse of the education system in Osun during his tenure.
God bless you sir they are leaders without vision, they are betrayals, now Tinubu is the president why not bring people who kill bola ige to justice
I am not surprised about Pa Ayo Adebanjo. His coduct so far in recent years have been disgraceful. His voice is not heard on pressing yoruba issues but unrelated and sometimes anti-yoruba issues. He should rest and stop stifling afenifere
this man sounds fearless in his naming and historying
Baba Akande is sound men!
We’ve always had betrayals amongst us in Yorubaland 🤬🤦🏾♂️
It's called politics baba... We are not mono thinkers...
@ not in a country like Nigeria, you’re aiming for destruction if you’re not United to achieve the common goal for our ethnic group 🤦🏾♂️
This baba is a politician. Bola Ige was known as very bashing with word, he rubbed a lot people the wrong way, especially the Afenifere people, including the elders who saw him to be rude. Bola Ige's greatest undoing, was contesting against baba Alayande, in the 79 AG primary gubernatorial, Bola Ige defeated Alayande, and went on to become the governor of Oyo state. He also didn't relinquish the option to recontest in 83, as expected. This was infact against the wish of Awolowo. Baba Alayande waited for his revenge, for decades, we heard what happened at D Rovans hotel, as Bola Ige was sidelined and Falaye nominated, in a primary that was to unanimously nominate Bola Ige.
You really know history. I’m read something similar to this history you just wrote here sir. God bless you.
Don't mind this old cargo they are betrayals, especially this baba Akande is very wicked, he is not worthy to be called a Yoruba leader, he sacked Yoruba and history teachers when he was a governor
Honestly, you are on point sir.
I don’t know of anyone whose handwork crumbled before his very own eyes and is happy.
As far as Yoruba leaders is concerned, I still believe baba akande to a certain level because he will never scared of anyone when it comes to say things as it's.
Look at his age😮
I don’t need your views to classify him as agbaya lying old man
Fact
Hi Edmund. Please endeavor to hear the other side of the story. Honesty is the best policy, as they often say. However, it appears that for convenience, we develop amnesia and forget what the truth actually is.
I commend baba Bisi Akande for nailing the nail on the head, but I want to remain all that those who does not do learn from history will surely be history. I see Chief Bisi Akande's book as a clarion call to Nigerians and reminded me of late Ogunde's song "Yoruba Ronu"
Mr Edmund, please advocate for History to return to our secondary school, most of the people will look forward to as good people are the ones who plunged Nigeria into all these crisis!
There is History in our curriculum currently.
@@BeasSpacebaba Bisi Akande sacked history teachers band Yoruba teachers when he was a governor , I can't believe in him
@@AKINNIYIGBEMINIYI-wu3pd I didn't know he did that .
In my own State History is part of the curriculum.
@@BeasSpace he did that when he was a governor of Osun State 1999
He sacked almost all the teachers, irk, geography, fine art, history, Yoruba our own local language he destroyed the educational system of Osun back then if not for the help of of oyinlola that took all the teachers back, pls imagine the calamity and havoc he caused, they only do politics to win election not to make good policies for our children and the future not Yorubas they sold us to Fulani
Edmund, Baba Adebanjo is still alive, you will give this interview a balance by going to ask him the question about Bola Ige being president and their reluctance to support him because whatever this man says here can not be trusted. A man that is tribalistic and supports a Tinubu who was the one that destroyed AD. Ire oh. Agbados won't be happy oh
From your first paragraph, it is obvious you belong to the obidiot group.
Stop crying more than the bereaved and learn.
PA adebanjo can no longer be trusted to lead the yoruba people👌👌👌
Because he supported tinubu his nw a bad person abii, u people and sense are far apart. Is it a must that everybody should support obi
Sense is far from you.
The funniest thing you are Igbo and you are so comfortably meddling in Yoruba affairs! Honestly this is madness from you people
The usual response of a victim. I hope you guys are gearing up coz very soon you guys will be under a sharia law and the likes of you will speak less else your tongues and limbs will be cut off while your oppressors continue to live in lavish I.e Tinubu, Akande etc. Are you guys not tired of living in Penury and smiling? For you information, I'm human first and I want the best for every human with sanity unlike you lots that are tribalist and are slaves to your oppressors. Ire oh
I think Edmund has interviewed Pa Adebanjo in one audio recording. They are politicians but I still believe Pa Adebanjo more than Chief Bisi Akande.
Who be this man called Edmund self??!!!!! The man is just too much. I admire his programs
That's very sad
Excellent interview. Very insightful.
You didn't ask him the way forward on how the association can be back to its original status and serve its purpose or you didn't capture the part
This is disgraceful for an old man who’s already climbing into his casket. Shamelessly lying.
This old man and Bola Ige were the major problems of Afenifere. Their selfish ambition killed the unity of the party.
Oponu gidi ni e
@ Gbogbo ile yin oponu!
Shut your uncircumcised mouth and don't you ever disrespect Baba Bola Ige and Baba Akande. How dare you.
They are of no use for us yorubas and Obasanjo is a yoruba enabler so shameful

Every Yoruba man know how papa Adebanjo operate. Fighting every Yoruba man that is doing well in politics. From obj, papa fasonranti, bola ige and tinubu
Don't buy the book
@@agbomabiwonhammed2727 You are correct
You are correct......lies on steroids
Tell us where he lied. If you can't, I advice you keep your opinion to yourself.
Why should this guy penetrating yoruba history
THe deconstruction of Pa Adebanjo..................
AFENIFERE was never a registered political party, but it was the propelling movement of people behind the Action Group that was registered. Afenifere existed with Action Group. Baba Akande could therefore not be right on the formation of Afenifere by the late Chief Bola Ige.
But remember that Action group was more like Yoruba party at the time. PDP was more of northern party. So, Afenifere could be used to influence action group candidate. Remember, that majority of Yourbas voted Falae who was action group party. Obasanjo won through Northern influence in his first election. Baba may be right also.
@@BoyemindsetBaba Akande could not have been right on the formation of Afenifere in Chief Bola Ige's house. If Afenifere existed as a driving force behind Action Group in the 50ties, how could it have been formed by Chief Bola Ige. That part of Baba Akande's narration does not sound correct in my view.
Chief akande, o je nile oro, je nile egungun, senu jeje mutin, SMH, May God judge you all.
I cant forget how Bisi Akande destroyed education system in Osun State.....wao......this Baba destroyed lots of people's lives.
How?
And evidence.
Don't just come here to say what you don't understand if they are talking about education
Bisi Akande, as Governor of Osun State between 1999 and 2003, implemented significant reforms in the education sector. He established technical colleges in all nine federal constituencies, built housing units for teachers in rural schools, and introduced a school farming system.
At the time, many schools in Osun had about 70% of their teachers specializing in subjects like Islamic Religious Knowledge (IRK), Christian Religious Knowledge (CRK), Physical and Health Education (PHE), and Yoruba, while there was a shortage of science-based teachers. To address this imbalance, Akande took the bold step of restructuring the teaching workforce, replacing non-science teachers with those qualified in science-related subjects.
The impact of his policies became evident in 2004 under Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola, when Osun State’s WAEC performance improved significantly. This success was a direct result of Akande’s proactive reforms, which laid a strong foundation for better educational outcomes.
While his methods may have been controversial, the long-term benefits of his policies cannot be ignored. True leadership is about making difficult decisions for a better future, and Akande’s contributions to Osun’s education system reflect that vision.
@@Ray4Media This could not be too far from truth. I was in one of the model government schools in Osun state during those periods. Before Baba Akande, we had fully equipped science laboratories, functional sport education etc. But when Baba came, he said PHE teachers should go to stadium. Lots of retrenchment to the extent that reasons for retrenching teachers were not provided to many. Our PHE teachers that were retrenched were not replaced. The laboratories got dilapidated and poorly equipped.
@@Ray4Media School farming wasn't introduced by Baba Akande. It was the previous military governor (I think Udofia or the military governor from Kwara State) that introduced school farming
@@Ray4Media that 4-years were destructive to education system to a large extent. I attended one of the best government schools in Osun State, quality went south. I finished secondary education at the middle of Baba's tenure. I then visited my Alma mater in 2003/2004, I cried when I saw what the laboratories look like.
So called Yoruba elders have failed us totally. Dooms Day is here. 😡😡😡
This man is simply a blatant liar. You listen to him, you listen to what would take you to perdition.
It saddened me that, infidelity has been among us for the longest. Especially, the Yorubas. Its very hard for me to trust a Yoruba person. Especially, from what I have experienced. It's a can of worms. If we open it everything will be scattered.
How can you compare PA Adebanjo to pa Akande. The first is a four star General while the later is an army captain at best😂😂😂
ua-cam.com/video/7P947LDnoHw/v-deo.htmlsi=0hb4GCVUj8BGbo-T
Afenifere is gone
Correct spelling: enough facts.
😂😂😂 Of course will Yoruba knew it.. There's no Afenifere again.. That's why those who call themselves Afenifere nowadays are politically rascals.
Hmmn. Who killed Bola Ige? Who killed Funsho Williams? Tinubu has all the security architecture under his control, so he can easily get the files from the past event. Can he dig this out? It's an obvious no because he is involved😂. Agbados won't like this oh. Ire oh
What was faleye 😂
I want to believe that this is simply an intentional act to remove the leadership of the group from the many leading leaders of Ijebu extraction to the hinterland because the ijebus and Ibadan were all under Awolowo.
The same scheme went dragging because Ajasin took over on the demise of Awolowo but leadership went back to the Ijebu subgroup again.
The main reason they despise Adebanjo and clinged to Fasoranti who personally resigned on the account of old age and sight.
Could we then attribute the challenges in Yoruba stock is and continually brew from the Osun and Ekiti devide who wants the control of the political power of the Yoruba.
You said nonsense with confidence.
@@tundeajani917
Why not express your worthy stakes with fear.
😂😂😂😂😂😂@@tundeajani917
Sir i am will still suggest that you ɓring several of these people together face to face probably unknowingly to them.I mean without prio notice that you are pitching them together or if you let them know that you are Pitching them together, don't let them realise that it will be for a political questioning,so that they can come enmasse
These are not noble men. These are politicians 😮. What are you expecting? A wedding of songs. Look at their faces. Everything they did was for ego and self elevation. Not for the future of our country.
I tell you. All these old criminals belongs to one cabals groups and Nigeria the country they determine who will be in power or positions
Tell baba Akande bisi to own out atleast he is already an old man ,there should be nothing for him to fear again for posterity sake.
Useless book written by bisi akande
I don't like him because he's supporting Tinubu
Who are you
Who cares
The Yorubas as organized and as synergized as they may appear to the world, they are the most divided people on earth. Unlike the Igbos and most especially the Hausas who are as United as the Manchester fans.
I am a yoruba man. You're 100 percent right. Everyone believes he is better. They can't agree on anything because of superiority complex. So sad it is still happening.
You know nothing boy😂
Afenifere is just useless group now
