Reuben Fasoranti, leader of the Afenifere, the pan-Yoruba socio-political group, has urged political leaders across Nigeria, particularly those from the south-west, to prioritise performance and public impact over partisan competition.
Fasoranti spoke in Akure, the Ondo state capital, on Wednesday at the two-day south-west stakeholders’ dialogue.
Represented by Femi Okurounmu, former Secretary-General of Afenifere, Fasoranti said ministers and political leaders from the region must rise above party interests and ensure equitable distribution of federal projects and resources.
“Our ministers must never forget that they are not just cabinet officials; they are voices of a people whose aspirations must be fiercely defended,” he said.
“Work collaboratively with your governors, irrespective of party affiliations, and ensure that federal projects and policies benefit the southwest equitably.”
He called on south-west governors to pursue interstate collaboration for regional growth.
