Leadership of Obidient Movement, has joined millions of Nigerians in paying tribute to the fallen chieftain of the Pan Yoruba Socio-political Organization Afenifere, Pa Ayo Adebanjo.
National coordinator of the group, Dr Tanko Yunusa in a press statement, said the news of his death struck the group like a cyclone, and still in sadness and great shock.
“Pa Adebanjo, the group stated, was one of the pillars that the expectant New Nigeria was standing on. “His legacies and pluck etched his name on the annals of history as a great countryman, with indelible proofs of patriotism and heroism.
“He will forever be remembered as that selfless leader who sacrificed his lifetime as an upholder and proponent of true democracy and the Rule of Law. His commitment and steadfastness in leadership craftsmanship are reflected in the monumental achievement of the Afenifere organization.
“Myself and the Obidient movement extend our condolences to his family, his friends, the good people of Ogun State, the Afenifere Organization and everyone he has left a lasting impact on their lives in our Nation.
“It is our earnest desire that more people like Pa Adebanjo are birthed in our democratic space who will uphold the unity of our Nation and are willing to work tirelessly for the progress of a united victorious front as One Blessed Nation, our differences regardless.
“With the likes of Pa Adebanjo on a united front, despite the dividing lines of language, race and religion, A New Nigeria is Possible”.
