Segun Atanda/
The Pa Ayo Adebanjo-led faction of Afenifere, the influential pan-Yoruba sociopolitical group, has named fiery lawyer and activist, Dele Farotimi, as its National Organising Secretary.
The appointment was approved at the group’s general meeting held yesterday at Adebanjo’s residence in Isanya Ogbo, Ogun State.
A communiqué jointly signed by Deputy Leader, Oba Oladipo Olaitan and National Publicity Secretary, Prince Justice Faloye, confirmed the decision.
Farotimi’s elevation comes just a day after renowned legal icon, Aare Afe Babalola, agreed to drop a defamation suit against him.
The lawsuit stemmed from claims in Farotimi’s controversial book, ‘Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System,’ which had sparked heated debates.
