The Southwest House of Representatives Caucus has described the late leader of the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation Pa Reuben Fasoranti as a selfless leader who sought the best for the Yoruba and Nigeria at large.
In a statement by the Caucus leader James Abiodun Faleke lawmakers representing Southwest federal constituencies said the political titan’s exit has created a vacuum.
Faleke said the late octogenarian would be remembered for championing unity justice and fair play during his tenure as Afenifere leader.
The statement read ‘Pa Fasoranti will be missed not only by the Yoruba whom he led with dedication and forthrightness. He led without bias. His tenure was peaceful remarkable and memorable.
‘Pa Fasoranti rallied the race; he led under one united umbrella. He was not controversial. He was forthright in his dealings with his followers and he earned their respect.
‘Baba will be missed not only by his immediate Yoruba race but his absence will also be felt by the entire country.
‘Our condolences go to his immediate family the Yoruba race and the government and people of Ondo State’ Faleke said in the statement.
