The Pa Ayo Adebanjo-led faction of Afenifere, a pan-Yoruba sociopolitical group, has appointed Dele Farotimi, a renowned lawyer and activist, as its National Organising Secretary.

This development comes on the heels of Farotimi’s recent court victory, where Aare Afe Babalola agreed to drop a defamatory suit filed against him.

According to a communique issued after a general meeting held at Adebanjo’s residence in Isanya Ogbo, Ogun State, “The General Meeting considered and approved the appointment of Barrister Dele Farotimi as the National Organising Secretary of the Afenifere.”

The meeting was jointly signed by the Deputy Leader, Oba Oladipo Olaitan, and the National Publicity Secretary, Prince Justice Faloye.

Farotimi’s appointment is seen as a significant development, given his recent ordeal with Aare Afe Babalola, who had dragged him to court for allegedly defaming him in his book, “Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System.” Farotimi was granted bail in the sum of N30 million by an Ekiti State High Court sitting in Ado-Ekiti.
