Pa Adebanjo’s death shocking – Obidient Movement

The Obidient Movement has said the news of the demise of the chieftain of the Pan Yoruba Socio-political Organisation, Afenifere, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, “struck us like a cyclone, still in sadness and great shock.”

In a statement, the National Coordinator, Yunusa Tanko, described Adebanjo as one of the pillars that the expectant New Nigeria is standing on.

He said Adebanjo’s legacies etched his name on the annals of history as a great countryman, with indelible proofs of patriotism and heroism.

He said Adebanjo will forever be remembered as that selfless leader who sacrificed his lifetime as an upholder and proponent of true democracy and the Rule of Law, adding that his commitment and steadfastness in leadership craftsmanship are reflected in the monumental achievement of the Afenifere organisation.

“Myself and the Obidients extend our condolences to his family, his friends, the good people of Ogun State, the Afenifere Organization and everyone he has left a lasting impact on their lives in our Nation.

“It is our earnest desire that more people like Pa Adebanjo are birthed in our democratic space who will uphold the unity of our Nation and are willing to work tirelessly for the progress of a united victorious front as One Blessed Nation, our differences regardless.
With the likes of Pa Adebanjo on a united front, despite the dividing lines of language, race and religion, A New Nigeria is POssible. May his soul rest in peace,” Tanko said.
