The Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, weekend, joined the Yoruba people and all proponents of justice, democracy, and good governance, to celebrate the passage of an iconic nationalist and elder statesman, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, who died at 96.
Also, the leadership of the Labour Party, has said it received with a rude shock, the passing of Adebanjo.
This was as a former governor of Anambra State, and Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, described Pa Ayo Adebanjo, as unapologetic and unrepentant Awoist and social crusader
As the custodian of the Oduduwa heritage, the Ooni of Ife, a statement stated, never mourns but celebrates the legacy and indelible impact of those who had walked the path of honour and left behind footprints of greatness.
“Pa Ayo Adebanjo was more than a political figure; he was a guardian of Yoruba ideals, a relentless advocate for fairness, equity, and the true federalism upon which Nigeria was envisioned.
“Throughout his life, he remained unwavering in his commitment to the principles of Afenifere, the revered Yoruba socio-political movement.
