Tinubu hails Fasanmi
In a tribute to the late elder statesman, Asiwaju Tinubu said: ‘’Papa Ayo Fasanmi’s long sojourn on earth was for the good of all. He walked at the vanguard of all democrats, freedom fighters and believers in true federalism. To have lived to the age of 94 was God’s gift not only to him and his family, but to this nation he loved so deeply. Senator Fasanmi was an eminent politician, elder statesman and the beloved leader of Afenifere.
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. When Papa was recently admitted to the hospital for age-related sickness, I spoke to him and followed up with his close aide to monitor his situation.
I also share in the grief of this moment with his political soulmates, Pa Fasoranti, Chief Bisi Akande, and others. I commiserate with Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi and Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of Osun State who was in regular contact with Papa, for the late Senator resided in Osogbo, where he spent 70 years of his life and maintained a Chemist store, named Bamidupe Chemist, till the end.
