Fasoranti emerged as the leader of what many consider as the main body of Afenifere, while Pa Fasanmi emerged as leader of the faction loyal to the national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu. As Fasanmi begins his final journey home today, Durojaiye, in a tribute on behalf of Afenifere, described the late Ekiti State-born progressive as a committed leader. He was a loyal supporter of Chief Obafemi Awolowo – foremost political leader of Yoruba. He was also a colleague and political associate of Senator Abraham Adesanya – the third and immediate past political leader of Yoruba. Papa Fasanmi struggled for that dream and supported those patriots like President Buhari, who also toiled for the same goal.
