Our dear leader was not just a leader of Afenifere, but a leader of our entire nation. He was a man of great wisdom, courage, and a strong commitment to doing what is right for our country. He was a staunch believer in truth and justice, two values that are essential for the growth of any nation.”

He reflected on the virtues that he had learned from his visits to Adebanjo’s home, emphasizing the importance of honoring his legacy and contributions to the unity and peaceful coexistence of the country.

In conclusion, both Jonathan and Atiku paid their respects to the late Afenifere leader, acknowledging his profound impact on the nation and pledging to uphold the values he stood for.
