Ex-Osun State Governor, Chief Bisi Akande, has said the death of the late Afenifere leader, Pa Ayo Fasanmi has made him a political orphan.
He recalled how Fasanmi introduced him to former premier of Western Region, Chief Obafemi Awolowo and had played the role of a political godfather to him all along. Akande’s tribute titled: ‘Tribute to my political godfather, Pa Ayo Fasanmi,’ read in part, “I’m suddenly made a political orphan by the passing of Papa Ayo Fasanmi at this point. It is shocking and very painful to me personally because he was my political godfather since he introduced me to Chief Obafemi Awolowo in 1977.
