Former Vice President and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Atiku Abubakar, mourned the demise of the former President of the Yoruba Council of Elders, Chief Adeyinka Adebayo.
A condolence message signed by the Media Office of the former Vice President described the late Adebayo as a remarkable statesman who belonged to the last vestiges of Nigeria’s pioneering heroes.
Abubakar said: “Chief Adeyinka Adebayo was a proficient administrator as well as an outstanding soldier who fought to keep our country together.
“Much later in his lifetime he championed the cause of the Yoruba nation in an inclusive Nigerian project, so enviably that historians will eminently have a record of him as a pan-Nigeria advocate.”
The Turakin Adamawa condoled with the Adebayo family and the government and people of Ekiti State over the loss of an illustrious leader, while also praying for the repose of his soul.
