At the age of 100, Pa Reuben Famuyide Fasoranti, a well-known Yoruba elder statesman and the head of the pan-Yoruba sociopolitical organization Afenifere, passed away.
In a condolence statement released on behalf of the state government, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa confirmed Fasoranti’s passing on Tuesday in Akure, Ondo State.
The governor characterized the late Afenifere leader as a patriarch whose life was characterized by integrity, wisdom, and selfless service to Nigeria, Ondo State, and Yorubaland.
Fasoranti’s contributions to public affairs, along with his advice and moral stances on justice and good governance, would be sorely missed, according to Aiyedatiwa.
He continued by saying that future generations would be motivated by the elder statesman’s lasting legacy of honor and service.
“On behalf of the Government and the good people of Ondo State, I commiserate with the Fasoranti family, the people of Akure Kingdom and the entire State over this great loss,” the governor said.
Our heartfelt condolences go to Pa Fasoranti’s family, friends, and the Afenifere community. May they find strength and comfort in this difficult time, and may his soul rest in perfect peace.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
