Speaker Gbajabiamila Mourns Pa. Fasanmi's Passing by Paschal2806: 6:32pm On Jul 30, 2020 |
Gbajabiamila mourns Pa. Fasanmi's passing The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila has expressed sadness over the demise of the leader of the Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, Pa Ayo Fasanmi. Pa Fasanmi, who passed away on Wednesday night, was also a former federal legislator in the First and Second Republics. In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Lanre Lasisi, the Speaker said though the demise of the late patriot would be felt by the nation, the progressives and his family, solace would, however, be taken in the fact that his footprints have been firmly entrenched in the sand of time. The Speaker noted that Pa Fasanmi’s passionate quest for democracy and good governance saw him leave pharmacy to join politics and later became the leader of the Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere. Gbajabiamila said: "As a federal lawmaker at the national level, first as a member of the House of Representatives and later a Senator, Pa Fasanmi came across as a symbol of humility, selflessness and integrity. These attributes have continued to inspire lawmakers across the country. "It is my prayer that his soul rests in perfect peace, and may God give those he left behind the fortitude to bear the loss".
