The National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure, has credited the late Ayo Adebanjo for instilling in him the values of resilience, democracy, and the rule of law.
Abure, who visited the Adebanjo family in Lagos State, praised the late elder statesman for his unwavering commitment to democracy and his support for the Labour Party during his lifetime.
A statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, today quoted Abure as saying that Adebanjo’s mediation efforts not only strengthened the Party but also contributed to its success in the last general election.
According to the statement, Abure led a team of the Party executives to Adebanjo’s home, where he urged the late leader’s son, Femi Adebanjo, to uphold his father’s legacy of equity, justice, and the rule of law.
Abure expressed satisfaction that Pa Adebanjo witnessed the consolidation of democracy in Nigeria, noting that many of his contemporaries were not as fortunate.
He assured the Adebanjo family of the Party’s continued support, describing the late elder statesman as a proud supporter of the party until his last days.
