Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, on Friday said late Pa Ayo Fasanmi’s life and accomplishments brought dignity to all descendants of Oduduwa.
In a tribute signed by his Director of Media and Public Affairs, Mr Moses Olafare, Oba Ogunwusi described the late Afenifere leader as an epitome of leadership, politics, and good governance.
The statement read in part, “Pa Ayo Fasanmi was a great leader whose words, actions, and involvement in Nigerian politics brought dignity to the Yoruba people. “We are going to miss him greatly because of the roles he had been playing as an elder statesman after stepping out of partisan politics, but we shall continue to remember him for the goods he did when he was with us.
“Our leaders, particularly those in the political class, have a lot to learn from Pa Fasanmi’s selfless style of leadership. We must wake up to our responsibilities towards creating the great Nigeria of our dream.”All rights reserved.
