For all his life, Pa Fasanmi practised and advanced the virtues he learned at the feet of his leader. Meanwhile, a Yoruba socio-political group, Oodua Action Movement (OAM) has called on the Federal Government to immortalise Fasanmi, who died at the age of 94. The group joined other well-meaning Nigerians to mourn the death of the elder statesman, whom it said, worked laboriously for the development of the country. The coordinator of the group, Demola Edward, in a statement, said Fasanmi’s death has robbed the Yoruba nation of a prominent leader. The OAM Coordinator, who extoled the humanity, integrity and purposefulness of Pa Fasanmi, said the late elder statesman prioritised the needs of the people above all else.
