Pa Adebanjo And Edwin Clark Fought For A Better Nigeria Till The Very End Wahab Shittu

A senior lawyer and activist, Wahab Shittu has come out to mourn the deaths of Elder statesman and chieftain of the pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, Ayo Adebanjo and Pan Niger Delta Forum leader, Chief Edwin Clark.

He recently had his say via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, both men were patriotic Nigerians whose legacies will be remembered for their courage and commitment to justice, and their unwavering dedication to fighting oppression and advocating for unity will not be forgotten.

He added that they both believed in our shared humanity as a people, and history will definitely be kind to them.

His words, “These two distinguished Nigerians knew nothing about fear and raised their strong voices against oppression and in favour of justice and people’s emancipation.

The weapons they deployed were their strong voices and the power of robust intellect and pen, which they used in constructive engagement on governance issues.

They both believed in our shared humanity as a people and were willing to embrace elements from other ethnic groups in their quest for a united Nigeria.

Pa Adebanjo and Pa Clark kept faith with the struggle throughout. Not once did they waver, not once did they abandon the struggle in favour of filthy lucre.

History will be kind to them and document their struggles for a great, united, and prosperous Nigeria.

Life levels all men, but death reveals the eminent. Farewell, worthy patriots,” Shittu said in his closing remarks”

WOW.
