Afenifere Remains United After Leader Fasoranti's Death
Afenifere, the pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, stated it remains intact despite the passing of its leader, Pa Reuben Famuyide Fasoranti. In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Comrade Jare Ajayi, the organization expressed gratitude to those offering condolences and dismissed any concerns regarding leadership disputes.
Afenifere emphasized that its current focus is on organizing a glorious burial for Chief Fasoranti, stating that discussing leadership matters would be irresponsible while mourning. The chairman of Afenifere's National Executive Committee, Oba Olu Falae, is collaborating with Fasoranti's family to establish a burial committee.
A formal visit to the family is scheduled for Tuesday, October 27, 2026, with delegates from various states in Yorubaland, including Kogi, Kwara, Oyo, Osun, Ogun, Ekiti, Lagos, and Ondo, expected to attend.
