Pa Reuben Fasoranti, a prominent leader of the
pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has died at the age of 100.
He celebrated his 100th birthday on May 11, 2026.
Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa announced his
passing in a condolence message on Tuesday, October 20, 2026.
The governor described the late elder statesman as a
symbol of wisdom, integrity and selfless service, adding that his contributions
to the development of Ondo State, Yorubaland and Nigeria would remain
indelible.
Aiyedatiwa said Fasoranti's counsel, fatherly guidance
and principled stance on justice and good governance would be sorely missed. On
behalf of the Ondo State Government and its people, he commiserated with the
deceased's family, the people of Akure Kingdom and the entire state, and prayed
for the peaceful repose of the late elder statesman's soul.
