Third Republic Senator, Anthony Adefuye has doubled down on his allegation that former President Olusegun Obasanjo is not a Yoruba man.
The chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State insisted that the ex-president’s father was an Igbo man from Anambra State in the South-East geopolitical zone and only his mother was Yoruba.
