Last Updated: Wednesday, October 27th, 2004 HOME | Previous Page Adesanya son’s request in order, says Fasanmi By Habib Aruna Assistant Politics Editor, Lagos   Deputy leader of Afenifere and a chieftain of the Alliance for Democracy (AD), Chief Ayo Fasanmi has said that the recent request by Bayo, son of Chief Abraham Adesanya that the leadership of Afenifere should desist from holding meetings in his father’s house was in order. Fasanmi noted that if members of the Adesanya family said that their father was not feeling too fit and wanted him to rest, they have the right to advise his political associates to give him some breathing space. “The request is in order. If the old man is not feeling well and they are saying that the series of meetings being held at the residence is creating tension, there is nothing wrong with the request”, Fasanmi said after inaugurating the Political Committee of the organisation at the Jibowu, Yaba, Lagos secretariat of the organisation. He said the secretariat was always available for holding of meetings and wonder why some people have decided to be holding meetings at the house of Adesanya. “This is the secretariat of Afenifere. Nobody can deny us the right hold our meetings here”, he added. Fasanmi expressed a lot of worry about current trends in the country, which he said should be of concern to every citizen. “I am really worried because 44 years after our independence people are asking many questions; is that how we run a government? Has many years of military rule created a lot of problem for the country? Is the economy on course? And have we restructured according to democratic principles”? The Afenifere leader said when these questions are perused there will be little room for anyone to be happy, adding that it is baffling that there is so much poverty in the land and the federal government remained unconcerned. He said the main preoccupation of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is to make Nigeria a one-party state and call on well-meaning Nigerians to resist it.       Copyright� 2004.
