Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has mourned late Afenifere leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo.
Atiku in a statement issued in Abuja said late Adebanjo was a golden example of how to live and die for the good of the country.
Describing the late Afenifere leader as a formidable force and a fearless fighter for justice, equity, and an egalitarian society,
the former vice President recalled the heroic role that Pa Adebanjo played in wresting power from the military and enthroning democratic governance in Nigeria.
Atiku noted that apart from mentoring many generations of civil rights activists across different generations, Pa Adebanjo was an activist extraordinaire and bridge builder who led the battle against injustice and oppression from the trenches.
He added that the life and times of the deceased remain a priceless map for contemporary and upcoming activists, who advocate for good governance to learn and take a cue from.
He admonished the family to take solace in the fact that the patriarch who they mourn was a father to the whole country and a pride to the Black race.
He also commiserated with the people and government of Ogun State.
