Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo state has likened the death of a prominent leader of the pan-Yoruba sociopolitical organisation, Afenifere, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, to the fall of a mighty Iroko tree in the forest.
Makinde, who said Pa Adebanjo’s death marks the end of an era, commended him for being a great nationalist, federalist, patriot and true democrat, who gave his all for Nigeria to be a better country.
Describing 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.
