Ondo State Governor, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has mourned the death of elder statesman and former leader of Afenifere, Pa Reuben Famuyide Fasoranti, who died at the age of 100.
Aiyedatiwa described the death of the revered Yoruba leader as a great loss to Ondo State, Yorubaland and Nigeria, noting that his life was marked by wisdom, integrity and selfless service to humanity.
In a condolence message issued on Tuesday, the governor said Fasoranti devoted his life to the development of Ondo State and Nigeria, leaving behind an enduring legacy of honour, principled leadership and commitment to justice and good governance. He added that the late elder statesman’s counsel and fatherly guidance would be greatly missed.
