The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , on Thursday commiserated with the family of the late human rights lawyer, Gani Fawehinmi, over the death of its son, Mohammed.Buhari’s condolence message was contained in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, titled, ‘President Buhari condoles with Fawehinmi family over Mohammed’s death.’
Sanwo-Olu said the late Mohammed Fawehinmi stayed the course with his persistent fight for the rights of the Nigerian people. The statement reads partly, “Undoubtedly, this is a personal loss not just to our state, but also to me. As a learned colleague, Mohammed Fawehinmi was a great lawyer. He was a voice for so many people. He was committed to a just and fair society.”
Likewise, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, in a statement by his media office said the news of the sudden death of Mohammed was “very depressing.” Wabba said, “Barrister Mohammed Fawehinmi will be remembered not only for his brilliant legal mind but also for his commitment to the underprivileged in the society through charity works.”Meanwhile, dignitaries have continued to visit the family house in the GRA, Ikeja, Lagos to condone with the family.
