The City Boy Movement, Ondo State, has received with deep sadness the news of the passing of Pa Reuben Famuyide Fasoranti, the revered elder statesman, nationalist and prominent leader of the Yoruba people, who passed away at the age of 100.
Pa Fasoranti was a towering figure whose life was defined by integrity, courage, selfless service and an unwavering commitment to democracy, good governance and the progress of Nigeria. His contributions to the development of Ondo State and the nation at large will remain indelible in our history.
His passing is a great loss not only to Ondo State and the Yoruba nation but also to Nigeria as a whole. He represented a generation of leaders whose convictions, wisdom and sacrifices helped shape our democratic journey and inspired younger generations to embrace public service and responsible leadership.
As an organisation committed to progressive ideals and the advancement of our society, the City Boy Movement, Ondo State, acknowledges the enduring legacy of this great patriot. His life of service and dedication to the common good will continue to inspire us in our pursuit of a better Ondo State and a greater Nigeria.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, the leadership and members of Afenifere, the government and people of Ondo State, and all those who mourn this irreparable loss.
