Afenifere Accuses FG Of Suppressing Free Speech With Song Ban






The Afenifere faction loyal to Chief Ayo Adebanjo has criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration for banning Eedris Abdulkareem’s “Tell Your Papa.”

In a statement by acting Chairman Oba Oladipo Olaitan and Publicity Secretary Justice Faloye, the group said, “The ban was a direct attack on freedom of speech, one of the tenets of democratic government.”

They insisted the song was not offensive, but a legitimate response to Seyi Tinubu’s comments.

“The autocratic ban signals a leadership tendency that is disconnected from citizens’ realities,” Afenifere stated, warning that such actions undermine democracy and stifle creativity.


The group also condemned the rising insecurity, citing recent violent attacks and calling for urgent reforms, including state police and restructuring for true federalism.
