The Senate mourned the death of former Afenifere leader Pa Reuben Fasoranti, who died on October 20, 2026, at the age of 100. A motion by Senator Adeniyi Adegbonmire from Ondo Central highlighted Fasoranti's role as a committed nationalist and his contributions to education, democracy, and political development.
Born on May 11, 1926, in Akure, Ondo State, Fasoranti established Omooluorogbo Nursery and Primary School and Akure High School, significantly impacting educational development in the state. He was a founding member of the Alliance for Democracy and led Afenifere after Pa Abraham Adesanya's death.

Senator Olajide Ipinsagba from Ondo North seconded the motion, describing Fasoranti’s death as a major loss and emphasizing his role in conflict resolution.
The Senate adopted resolutions to send condolences to his family and recommend naming an educational institution after him.
