It’s truly a profound loss for both the Yoruba and Igbo communities, and for Nigeria as a whole. Pa Ayo Adebanjo’s commitment to unity, justice, and equity, especially in supporting Peter Obi in the 2023 election, shows his selflessness and dedication to the collective good of the nation, regardless of ethnic boundaries. His actions were significant in healing past divisions, fostering dialogue, and breaking down prejudices.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s tribute is a powerful reminder of how vital his role was not only to the Yoruba but to the broader Nigerian context, demonstrating that progress and national unity can come through solidarity, even in the face of historical tensions. His legacy will surely live on in the paths he helped carve toward reconciliation and peace.
