The Governor of Oyo State Seyi Makinde has mourned the passing of foremost Yoruba leader, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, and likened the death to the fall of a mighty ‘Iroko’ tree in the forest.
Makinde, who said the death of the prominent leader of the pan-Yoruba sociopolitical organisation, Afenifere, marks the end of an era, commended the late Adebanjo for being a great nationalist, federalist, patriot and true democrat, who gave his all for Nigeria to be a better country.
Describing Pa Adebanjo as a father of all, Governor Makinde expressed his condolences to the immediate family of the late Afenifere leader, the Afenifere, the Government and people of Ogun State and the entire South-West people.
