Chief Ayo Adebanjo, a chieftain of Afenifere, a Yoruba socio-political organisation, gave the reasons the group endorsed the re-election bid of President Goodluck Jonathan. He claimed it was based on the groups conviction that he would implement the recommendations of the 2014 National Conference if he wins.

In his words , while speaking with Punch said, ‎
"Some other parties did not believe in the exercise. We have talked about the many problems confronting Nigeria but the main one is to restructure. We need to restructure the country.''

''When we talk about corruption, good governance and the reduction in the salaries of members of the National Assembly, among others, they were addressed in the report. That is why we are insisting on its implementation. This is our demand and he has promised to implement it because he believes in it," he noted.

Another Spokesman for the group, Yinka Odumakin, also told journalists in Akure, Ondo State after President Jonathan visited a leader of the group, Chief Reuben Fasoranti, in his residence that Afenifere was endorsing Jonathan for a second term.

Yinka Adebakin said,
"Afenifere supports the President's re-election because he had the courage to convoke the national conference and we hope that he will implement the report.

"The President expressed the commitment that he will adopt the report within 12 months of returning to office".
