President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed profound sorrow over the passing of Reuben Fasoranti, a revered leader of the Afenifere socio-political group. In a statement released to the public, Tinubu remarked that Nigeria will deeply miss Fasoranti's wisdom and fatherly counsel, especially during periods when his guidance was most essential.

As a prominent elder statesman, Fasoranti played a pivotal role in shaping the discourse around regional and national issues, advocating for the Yoruba people and promoting unity among diverse ethnic groups in Nigeria. His contributions were marked by a commitment to peace and progress, qualities that endeared him to many across the nation.

Fasoranti’s legacy as a leader who prioritized dialogue and reconciliation remains a beacon for current and future generations. His passing is not just a loss for the Afenifere group but for all who advocate for a more harmonious Nigeria.
