    The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) has joined President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and every stakeholder in the Nigerian project to mourn the two great statesmen, Pa Ayo Adebanjo and Chief Edwin Clark, CON.

    A statement by the
    NGF Chairman/Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, said: “The deaths of the nonagenarians are a huge depletion in the ranks of outstanding voices who were never afraid to offer their views on issues of national importance, according to a statement by the NGF Chairman and Kwara State Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq.

    “The Forum recalls that the duo played critical roles in the evolution of the country’s democracy, constitutional development, and the discourse around its federal system vis-a-vis topical issues of resource control and the rights of ethnic minorities.

    “The NGF sends its heartfelt condolences to the people and governments of South-West and South-South, especially Ogun and Delta States, and to the families of the statesmen on these sad developments.

    “The Forum prays for the repose of their souls, saying their legacies will endure for generations yet unborn.”
