Asiwaju Tinubu himself can attest to OCF’s support for him.

“Chief Olabode George and Pa Ayo Adebanjo’s stand on Tinubu is unfortunate. OCF is in sync with Afenifere but Pa Adebanjo is on his own.

“He has not been speaking for Afenifere. I am a member of Afenifere. Baba Fasoranti remains the authentic leader of Afenifere.”
