Afenifere Forms Burial Committee for Pa Reuben Fasoranti

Afenifere, the Pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, has established a burial planning committee for its late leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti. This decision was made during a National Executive Committee meeting chaired by Oba Olu Falae at Fasoranti's residence in Akure, Ondo State.

The funeral service and interment are scheduled for December 17, 2026. The committee will collaborate with Fasoranti's family and a government committee to ensure a dignified burial.

Oba Falae emphasized that discussions regarding Fasoranti's successor would be postponed until after the burial, as addressing leadership succession before honoring the deceased is against Yoruba cultural values. The committee will include members from Afenifere and representatives from other groups.

Olori Rachael Falae, speaking for the family, praised Fasoranti's integrity and dedication, recalling his contributions to local governance and community problem-solving.
