A GREAT TREE HAS FALLEN: Afenifere Announces the Passing of Chief Ayo Adebanjo
ÀJÀNÀKÚ SÙN BI ÒKÈ !!!
The Afenifere wishes to formally announce the demise early today, the 14th February 2025, of our Leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, at the age of 96.
An avowed Awoist and progressive school of thought, Ayo Adebanjo was known for his central stage advocacy of restructuring, true federalism and a Nigeria of equity, fairness and true sense of belonging for its constituent ethnic nationalities.
For about a decade Baba had often reminded his followers that at his age, he was already at the “departure lounge” to strengthen us for the continued struggle for a better Nigeria, a country he truly loved. We will undauntedly keep the banner afloat.
Subsequent statements will be made available as directed by the Deputy Leader, Oba Oladipo Olaitan in consultation with Baba’s immediate family.
Sola Ebiseni
Secretary General, Afenifere.
