Fayemi Pays Tribute To ‘Highly Revered’ Fasoranti
The Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has hailed late Yoruba leader, Pa. Ayo Fasanmi, as a hero of Nigerian democracy.“Our highly revered Pa Fasanmi lived a good life, ran a good race, and has gone home for a well-deserved rest,” Fayemi said via a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Yinka Oyebode on Thursday.“There is no doubt we shall miss his wise counsel, but we are consoled with the fact he lived a good life and left a good legacy.
In the old Western Nigeria, Pa Fasanmi served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Old Western Nigeria Housing Corporation. Fayemi recalled the pivotal role played by Fasanmi as a chieftain of the National Democratic Coalition in the fight to revalidate the June 12, 1993 presidential election won by the late Chief M.K.O. Abiola.
The Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum said all these sterling qualities exhibited by Fasanmi informed the decision by his administration to name one of the four new secondary schools in the state capital after the late elder statesman in 2019.
