All Progressives Congress chieftain, Bola Tinubu, says the late Pa Ayo Fasanmi was his mentor and role model.
He said the deceased was a true progressive who until his death remained an advocate for fiscal federalism.
The APC leader said, “I had a close relationship with Papa 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. “As Afenifere leader, he was a true believer in the importance of fiscal federalism as essential for the growth of Nigeria. His vision for our nation was a coherent and correct one.”
“Yet, no matter the cost, he never strayed from his principles. A brave man, he never flinched at the prospect of speaking truth to power,” Tinubu stated.
