Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde, has felicitated the leader of the pan-Yoruba sociopolitical organisation, Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, on his 99th birthday.
Makinde, who hailed Fasoranti for his contributions to the emancipation of the Yoruba ethnic group and the progress of Nigeria, prayed to God to grant his lifelong desires for the Yoruba nation and Nigeria as a whole.
According to him, Pa Fasoranti has, for decades, continued to stand tall as a Leader, role model, and father. So, he actually deserves to be celebrated.
He said: “On behalf of the government and the good people of Oyo State, I felicitate Pa Reuben Famuyide Fasoranti, Leader of the pan-Yoruba Sociopolitical Organisation, Afenifere, on the occasion of his 99th birthday.
“Baba, we celebrate your exemplary life of service to the Yoruba Ethnic Group and your immense contributions to nation-building over the years.
“As you clock 99, it is our prayer that God grants all your heart desires on Yoruba emancipation and the continued progress and well-being of the South-West and Nigeria. “Happy Birthday, Sir.”
