Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Abiodun Ige Adams has described the death of former administrator of Lagos state, Admiral Ndubusi Kanu, as a great loss to the progressives.
Aare Adams, in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media,
Kehinde Aderemi, said the death of the foremost administrator had robbed the
progressives of a man of great honour and integrity.
Iba Gani Adams also expressed sadness at the death of the late
Kanu, saying the deceased remains a shining light and model to young generation
of leaders. He described the late Kanu as an Apostle of true federalism.
"In life, he was a great leader and leader of leaders because
he stood for democracy and true federalism, and in even death his memories
will for a very long time remain indelible in the minds of great
democrats.
Adams, who described the late Kanu as one of the heroes of June
12, said the late administrator was always present at the June 12 commemoration
programme organised annually by the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC).
He said the late Kanu's belief in an egalitarian society was real,
adding that the deceased never for once waver in his belief.
"He had a strong conviction about good governance. We will
all miss him because, I could remember those moments we shared together in our
struggle for this democracy"
"The late Ndubusi Kanu was a model for good governance. He
was always present at our programmes, especially the annual June 12
commemoration, and on many occasions, he attended three programmes in a day.
That tells you that the administrator was a true lover of democracy, but sadly,
he never benefitted from this democracy"
"So, it is indeed, a great loss to the progressives and I pray that God repose his soul eternally and grant the family the fortitude to bear the loss", Aare Gani Adams said.
