According to Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, South-West governors would give the late Afenifere chieftain Pa Ayo Adebanjo a suitable funeral.
This was disclosed by Sanwo-Olu, who is also the Chairman of the South-West Governors’ Forum, when he paid condolences at Adebanjo’s home in Lekki, Lagos.
“On behalf of all the South-West Governors, the people and government of Lagos State, we’re here to commiserate with the family, to appreciate them, and to say that Baba (Chief Ayo Adebanjo) lived a life full and worthy of emulation.
“We cannot but celebrate him. We have also commiserated with the Afenifere Group and expressed that it is a big shoe that we don’t know how or who will fit in.
“But because it is a celebration of life, we will also be participating in one form or the other to ensure that we give him a befitting home calling.”
The governor exhorted leaders to follow his example and principles.
Adebanjo’s daughters, including Adeola Azeez, welcomed Sanwo-Olu together with his deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat; secretary to the State Government, Barr. Abimbola Salu-Hundeyin; and other high-ranking officials.
