The Afenifere Renewal Group has distanced itself from activist, Yinka Odumakin and Lagos state guber aspirant, Jimi Agbaje.
The ARG released a statement saying that Odumakin, who is a former publicity secretary of the Pan- Yoruba Socio-Cultural group and Agbaje, are no longer its members.
The statement signed by Programme officer, Segun Balogun stated thus: “We are surprised they are still being linked to ARG in the media after some attempts we have made to notify the public. A particular report even described Mr. Odumakin as “leader” of ARG.”
“This notice is not to diminish their contributions to ARG in anyway but state the truth about their membership status. Since the past two years, all our media relations is being conducted by Mr. Kunle Famoriyo, who took over as ARG’s publicity secretary after Mr. Odumakin left.”
“Similarly, Architect Ayo Osunloye became the substantive Lagos Coordinator of ARG more than a year ago, after Mr. Agbaje left.”
“The ARG wish the duo well in their endeavours but they should not be linked to ARG in the present tense. They maybe linked to ARG in the past tense as a former member, and who knows, maybe in the future tense too, but certainly not in the present.”
