Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has come out to mourn the late Senator Ayo Fasanmi.

He recently revealed that Ayo is simply a great Nationalist, passionate leader, and humility personified.

According to her, the demise of the deceased came at a vital period when his wealth of experience, knowledge, and wisdom was most needed in Nigeria.

He added that Senator Ayo Fasanmi was a complete gentleman and selfless leader who contributed immensely to the development of the South West region in Nigeria.

His words, “Pa Fasanmi, was an exemplary leader who spent the greater part of his life in the service of humanity, particularly the Yoruba cause where he contributed to the development of the region.”

“In the old Western Nigeria, Pa Fasanmi served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Old Western Nigeria Housing Corporation.

“He was National President of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria in 1977, elected into the Senate in 1979, and became a member of the House of Representatives in 1983.”

“Pa Fasanmi was indeed an icon who will never be forgotten in the history of Nigeria and the Yoruba race. He will surely be missed.”

“The late Pa Fasanmi made the call in Lagos in his remark at the public presentation of the book: “Yoruba Elites and Ethnic Politics in Nigeria: Obafemi Awolowo and Corporate Agency”, written by Professor Wale Adebanwi, an Associate Professor in African American and African Studies, University of California-Davis.

“According to the frontline politician and second republic senator, this is (then) the time for political differences that have existed among the Awoists and the entire Afenifere clan to be cleared.

“At this auspicious time in our country, it is good we are having an occasion like this which brings many of us (Awolowo Associates) together. The event of today suggests to me that we need to forget our differences.”
