In a release signed by the organization’s National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Jare Ajayi, the body stated that Pa Fasoranti’s life “is a study in geniality, intellectualism, team-playing, philanthropy, communality, religiosity and humanness”.
According to the release, Pa Fasoranti is an embodiment of the Omoluabi ethos that sum up the characteristics of a man of impeccable integrity.
“The record of his years in the public service is unblemished. His activities during and after retirement have always been geared towards the enhancement of the situation around him. Besides providing succor where needed, he is also a motivator.These attributes have not only endeared him to many, they also depict him as a person who inspires.”
Afenifere added that Fasoranti is also exemplary in how to cope with fortitude going by some challenges he has faced in life. His conduct since he chose to tread on the noble path charted by the Sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, ultimately elevated him to the pedestal of a Statesman.
