The governor described Fasoranti as a patriarch and a beacon of wisdom, integrity, and selfless service, whose century-long life was marked by a commitment to the development of Ondo State, Yorubaland, and Nigeria.
“His counsel, fatherly guidance and principled stand on issues of justice and good governance will be sorely missed,” he said.
“He lived a fulfilled life and left indelible footprints of honour and legacy for generations to come.”
Aiyedatiwa extended condolences to the Fasoranti family, the people of Akure Kingdom and the entire state on behalf of the Ondo State Government.
