Tinubu noted that the Afenifere leader had remained at the forefront of the struggle for democracy in Nigeria for decades, while also promoting unity and solidarity in Yorubaland.
“He was part of NADECO Abroad, which took the battle for the sanctity of June 12 and termination of military rule in Nigeria to the international community. Also, to date, Abagun remains a prominent member of Idile Odua,” the President said.
Tinubu further commended Omololu’s principled stance on national issues and his steadfast support for the leadership of Afenifere under Pa Reuben Fasoranti, describing it as noteworthy.
