The Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon (Chief) Olamide Oladiji, on behalf of the Honourable Members and the entire legislative institution has expressed deep sorrow over the death of renowned elder statesman and Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti at the age of 100. This was contained in a condolence message made available to journalists in Akure today.
Oladiji, who described the passing of the revered nationalist as a monumental loss to Ondo State and the nation as a whole, said his life was a testament to selfless service, courage, integrity and an unwavering commitment to the promotion of good governance and democratic values.
The Speaker noted that Pa Fasoranti’s contributions to the development of Ondo State and Nigeria, particularly during his tenure as Commissioner for Finance in the old Ondo State, remained a significant part of his public service legacy.
”His commitment to public administration, democratic governance and the advancement of the welfare of the people earned him respect across the nation,” he said.
While commiserating with the immediate family, the leadership of Afenifere, the government and people of Ondo State, Oladiji urged them to take solace in the remarkable legacy of service and sacrifice left behind by the centenarian.
He prayed that Almighty God would grant the departed eternal rest and give his family, associates and admirers the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.

Speaker, Ondo State House of Assembly
