Afenifere Forms Burial Committee for Leader Fasoranti

Afenifere, the pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, has established a burial planning committee for its late leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, who died at the age of 100. This decision was made during a National Executive Committee meeting held at Fasoranti's residence in Akure, Ondo State.

The committee will work alongside Fasoranti's family and a government committee to ensure a fitting burial, which is set for December 17, 2026. The committee, chaired by Oba Olu Falae, will include members from Afenifere and other groups that previously convened in Ogun State, with plans for further expansion.

The meeting also emphasized the importance of unity in the burial arrangements and cautioned against premature discussions regarding Fasoranti's succession. Olori Rachael Falae, speaking for the family, praised Fasoranti's integrity and dedication, highlighting his contributions as a local government chairman and school principal, including the construction of key roads in Akure.
