AARE GANI ADAMS MOURNS
FASEUN
The Aare Ona Kakanfo,
Chief (Dr) Gani Adams has described the death of Dr Fredrick Faseun as a
great loss to the Yoruba race, Nigeria and the world at large, pointing out
that he left behind a worthy legacy.
Adams in a condolence
letter he wrote to commiserate with the family of the founding father of Odua Peoples
Congress (OPC), pointed out that he received the news of the death with shock
and disbelieve
‘It was with shock
that I received the sad news of the passing of our Papa and founding father of
Odua Peoples Congress (OPC) which occurred today, December 1, 2018. This,
no doubt, is a moment of great grief for entire family of OPC, Yoruba nation,
Nigeria and the world at large’
He added,’ but it is
also clear that the deep sense of loss over the demise of our beloved leader is
shared by many like me. I hasten therefore to address this statement to
commiserate with the immediate family over this painful bereavement.
The Aare Ona Kakanfo
added further that, the deceased in his life time made outstanding
contributions to the progress of the nation in many capacities, and no doubt
left behind a worthy legacy through his careers as a renowned medical doctors
and politician among others.
He emphasized further
that the Late Faseun was one of the good doctors trained in China as an
acupuncturist. A former presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 90s; I
see him as a father, and I passed through him for a period of five years.
Baba deserves all
respect because he acquitted himself so diligently, and will also be remembered
as a distinguished leader in all ramifications, and one that was greatly
admired by the general public and his peers as a straight forward and complete
gentleman.
Adams pointed out that
the deceased deserves all the tributes having had the privilege of close
association with him as a leader, father and confidant for many years, adding
that he can affirm his democrat lifestyle nature
‘He demonstrated
wisdom, honesty and good leadership, established friendship, harmony and
accommodation across board. He was as a community leader and a prominent
patriot, which was no doubt a testimony to be reference to’.
‘Baba exhibited very
good leadership qualities, wisdom and wealth of experience which indeed he put
to use in the discharge of his responsibility, as well as upholding the
institution’s tradition of excellence, while alive.
He will also be
remembered for his invaluable contributions to building a better
society. He will be surely missed by all of us. I extend on behalf of my
family, the Odua Peoples Congress (OPC) our sincere condolences on the
transition of our beloved leader and father and pray that the Almighty God
grants the bereaved family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.’
Until his death, Baba
was the Founding father and Spiritual Leader of Oodua People's Congress based
the peace resolutions perfected by the former Governor of Ogun State, Otunba
Gbenga Daniel on March 7th, 2005, which led to my emergence as the National
Coordinator of Oodua People’s Congress.
