My Statement on the sad passing of Dr Frederick Fasehun.👇 
Sad to hear the news of the passing of Dr. Frederick Fasehun. Baba as we all call him served his people in his own way, we agreed to disagree on a lot of issues but his commitment to the Yoruba and to Nigeria was never in doubt.
Dr. Frederick Fasehun's courage in the face of adversity was amicable and adopted by many who served with him. It was a privilege serving as Secretary General in the same Executive Council with Dr Fasehun,
we faced a lot together, had robust debates, had a lot to agree on and many more to disagree on, in everything Dr respected the right to disagree, in all we learn that we are not all perfect.
My hearts go out to Febi, the Fasehun Family, all members and executive of the Oodua Peoples Congress and the people of my my home state of Ondo.
In this time of sorrow.
In this time of sorrow.
My family, former comrades in the OPC and friends and Comrades in all Oodua Self Determination Groups send our collective thoughts of comfort and condolences to the Fasehun family.
Our collective hearts are heavy with sympathy. We share in your sorrow with comradeship, solidarity, love and friendship.
May Doctor Frederick Fasehun's soul
