Fasoranti Was a Steadfast Democrat and Pillar of the Ajasin Administration, Says Ijabiyi

The PBAT Mandate Elders Forum in Ondo State paid tribute to Pa Reuben Fasoranti, describing him as an educationist, steadfast democracy advocate and pillar of former Governor Michael Adekunle Ajasin’s administration. Forum chairman Chief Demola Ijabiyi recalled that during the 1982–83 election campaign, Fasoranti served as finance commissioner and led the re-election campaign, while Ijabiyi was campaign manager. The forum also cited Fasoranti’s participation in NADECO’s struggle against military rule and his leadership in Afenifere, where he advocated Yoruba unity, justice and federalism. Fasoranti died at 100, leaving a legacy of integrity, discipline and public service, Ijabiyi said.
