President Tinubu and two governors hailed Fasoranti’s lifelong service to democracy, unity and the Yoruba people after his death at 100.
- On Tuesday, Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa announced the death of Pa Reuben Famuyide Fasoranti, the revered Afenifere leader, who passed away at the age of 100.
- The elder statesman spent his century-long life shaping minds and strengthening institutions, marked by uncommon commitment to the development of Yorubaland and Nigeria through principled stands on justice and good governance.
- Former President Olusegun Obasanjo described the late leader's life as a 'masterclass in purposeful longevity' and recalled his service as finance commissioner, noting his role anchoring Afenifere during fragmentation.
- President Bola Tinubu and state governors including Seyi Makinde and Dapo Abiodun paid tribute, with Tinubu describing Fasoranti as 'one of the last great titans' of Chief Obafemi Awolowo's progressive family.
- His century of service leaves a legacy that will inspire leaders, scholars, and citizens for generations, though the pain of this loss reverberates across Yorubaland, where Fasoranti belonged to all.
