The General Meeting of AFENIFERE held on Tuesday 28th day of January 2025, at Isanya-Ogbo Ogun State at the residence of our Leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo deliberated on the state of the Nigerian nation, observed and Resolved as follows:
1.0 SECURITY:
1.01 Afenifere notes the terrible security position which worsened under the Buhari administration and remains unabated and calls on President Tinubu as the Commander-in-chief to take bold, positive and ideological steps to ensure genuine protection of life and property all over the country.
1.02 Afenifere reiterates the position that Nigeria with its vast territory, population and as a federation cannot be effectively and meaningfully secured with a single command unitary police structure and thus the need for the restructuring to ensure immediate constitutional institutionalization of state police.
1.03 The steps will prevent a situation the Governor of Oyopolice, even as the Chief Security Officer had to helplessly and lamentably make an outcry on the infiltration of bandits into his state.
2.0 ON NNAMDI KANU
2.01Afenifere notes that from all circumstances, particularly since his abduction in 2021 and rendition to Nigeria and since then subjected to controversial and conflicting legal proceedings in different courts by which his fair trial may no longer be guaranteed in the opinion of reasonable members of the public, it is clear that Nnamdi Kanu is indubitably a political detainee. In the interest of justice and national reconciliation, Afenifere urged President Tinubu to release Nnamdi Kanu forthwith. There is no justifiable reason to continue to keep him in detention without trial.
