A brave man is gone – Tinubu eulogizes Fasanmi
Tinubu, in a statement on Thursday, said Papa’s long sojourn on earth was for the good of all.
The All Progressives Congress national leader said the late elder statesman walked at the vanguard of all democrats, freedom fighters and believers in true federalism. Tinubu noted that to have lived to the age of 94 was God’s gift not only to him and his family, but to Nigeria he deeply loved. “I had a close relationship with Paba Fasanmi, dating back many years. He was a mentor and role model to me and many others who believe in progressive politics as a means to uplift our society and its people. When Papa was recently admitted to the hospital for age-related sickness, I spoke to him and followed up with his close aide to monitor his situation.”
As Afenifere leader, Tinubu, said he was a true believer in the importance of fiscal federalism as essential for the growth of Nigeria.
