The leader of the pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, Pa Reuben Famuyide Fasoranti, has passed away at the age of 100.

Pa Fasoranti died on Monday, October 20, 2026, after a glorious century of impactful life and selfless service to Yorubaland and Nigeria.

The elder statesman, who celebrated his centenary on May 11, 2026, was a respected educationist, former Commissioner for Finance in the old Ondo State, and one of the last custodians of Chief Obafemi Awolowo's political legacy.

He was revered as a patriarch and moral compass whose counsel, wisdom and principled stand for justice and good governance shaped generations.

Meanwhile, Ondo State Governor, Dr. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has mourned the late icon, describing him as a beacon of integrity whose indelible footprints will remain for generations.

Pa Fasoranti is survived by family, associates and a grateful Yoruba nation.
