Physician greets Fasoranti at 97

Nigerian born doctor in United States, Dr. Marindoti Oludare, has greeted Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti on his 97th birthday, saying he is a builder of men and nation.

Oludare, in a statement, recalled the role of the nonagenarian in nation building, noting he sacrificed personal ambition for national interest.

The physician, convener of  Social Rehabilitation Group (SRG), in the statement: “A Prose to a Sage”, said Fasoranti  is a leader who spent his years contributing to shaping policies in Southwest and Nigeria.

‘’He  was an acolyte of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, who became Finance commissioner in the Second Republic administration of Governor Adekunle Ajasin in old Ondo State.

The story was told of how  in 1998, he turned down an offer from Alliance for Democracy (AD) to bear the governorship flag in Ondo State, on the grounds he was a widower and needed to attend to his children.

Oludare wrote: “…When the military got in his way, Baba fought. When they tried to soil the standard of education, as a man who will never subsidise his values or standards, he started the first private primary school in Akure, a pride of the city which stands till today.”

The doctor hailed Fasoranti for standing with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu when Afenifere took a stand power should shift to South.
