The Obalufon Alayemore of Ido-Osun, Oba Aderemi Adeniyi Adedapo, and the Oniye of Iye-Ekiti, One Jonathan Adeleye, have asked the Second Republic Senator Ayo Fasanmi be honoured.
They spoke yesterday in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, during the 91st birthday anniversary of the Ekiti-born politician.
The Obalufon-Alayemore urged the Osun State government to name a three-kilometer road from Prime area leading to Senator Fasanmi’s residence for him because of his contribution to the State and Nigeria.
The monarch said he made Senator Fasanmi the Asiwaju of Ido-Osun on August 27 to reward him for his fatherly role in the community.
The Oniye, who praised the politician for his humility and erudiction, asked that the State Hospital at Iye-Ekiti, be renamed Senator Ayo Fasanmi Hospital.
Earlier, a short service was held in Senator Fasanmi’s residence, with his family members, church, associates and friends, including politicians and traditional chiefs in attendance.
The Dean of the All Saints Anglican Church in Osogbo, V.O. Fabulu, advised political office holders to emulate Fasanmi and stop amassing wealth.
Dignitaries in attendance include Afenifere, Pa Rueben Fasoranti, former Osun State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice Niyi Owolade and wife, Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Kunle Oyatomi and APC chieftain Alhaji Tajudeen Olusi.
