Pa Reuben Famuyide Fasoranti, a prominent leader of the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has died at the age of 100.

Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, announced his death in a condolence message on Tuesday.

Aiyedatiwa described the late elder statesman as a symbol of wisdom, integrity and selfless service, noting that he made significant contributions to the development of Ondo State, Yorubaland and Nigeria.

The governor said Fasoranti's counsel, fatherly guidance and principled stand on justice and good governance would be sorely missed.

He commiserated with the Fasoranti family, the people of Akure Kingdom and the entire state over the loss on behalf of the state government and the people of Ondo State.

Aiyedatiwa also prayed for the peaceful repose of the deceased's soul.
