Pa Ayo Adebanjo: Apostle of Equity and Justice, says National Rescue Movement
The National Rescue Movement (NRM) pays growing tribute to late Pa Ayo Adebanjo, the Afenifere leader, who passed on recently. Pa Adebanjo was an apostle of equity and justice. We therefore commiserate with the family members and residents of Ilarowo Ogbo of Odogbolu Local Government Area of Ogun State; the country home of the late sage, as well as the Afenifere, the Yoruba socio-cultural organization that he was the leader.
The National Rescue Movement believes that this is a period of mourning not only for the Afenifere, but the entire country as the foremost nationalist, elder statesman, distinguished lawyer, very distinct politician, apostle of true federalism; equity and justice, as a former Organizing Secretary of Action Group, the national leader of Afenifere lived his life for the entire country in commitment to fighting for truth, equity and justice.
Pa Adebanjo’s belief and struggle for a truly independent and progressive Nigeria was total and this he fought for until he breathed his last breath at 96. His memory will forever remain fresh in the mind of real democrats. His death is indeed a great loss to the nation, especially as we continue to seek men and women of conviction and integrity, and who can speak truth to power without fear or favour.
The entire members of our great party, under the visionary leadership of Prince (Dr) Chinedu Obi (Ohamadike), also sympathize with his 94-year-old widow, Chief Christy Ayo-Adebanjo, his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and pray that God grants them the fortitude to bear his irreparable loss.
The National Rescue Movement cannot forget Baba in a hurry as our great party is built on truth, equity and justice amongst others, the ideal he lived and died for. May his soul rest in peace.
