Leader of Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, Pa Ayo Fasanmi is dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He died on Thursday morning at the age of 94.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Osun State government confirmed the death of Fasanmi<\/a> in a condolence message signed by its Commissioner for Information, Funke Egbemode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Egbemode said that his death was announced on Thursday by his first son, Obafemi Fasanmi, on behalf of the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The condolence message read, \u201cHe made enviable and remarkable contributions to his profession, to the socio-political development of Yorubaland, and to the nation at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBaba Fasanmi was a leader who demonstrated his love for our great country in many laudable ways; but more heart-warming was how he showed optimal concern for the welfare of the poor and underprivileged, and how he held leaders accountable on their promises of good governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018We also recognise how much Osogbo, and Osun State as a whole meant to Pa. Fasanmi, who was transferred to Osogbo as a Pharmacist in 1951, and he chose to live here till he took his last breath,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
