When the election was declared for Barak, our screams could be heard in the whole neighbourhood. For Barack Obama’s reelection, I was invited by the US Embassy in Nigeria, to be part of an election night vigil on November 5th 2012 they organized in Lagos.  It was a long night of speeches, (I was asked to talk about the role of women in politics and elections) and election monitoring, interspersed with entertainment.

Tribute to a Man of Integrity Late Senator Ayorinde Fasanmi - By - Kayode Fayemi






The death of Chief Ayorinde Fasanmi, on July 29, 2020 has again reinforced the saying that no matter how long we live, our time here remains transient. Even though Baba Ayo Fasanmi died at an advanced age of 94 years, his death is a monumental and personal loss to me. As the African adage says “the death of elder in African is like a library set on fire”. This aphorism is much truer with the fallen socialist ideologue and Ekiti elder. Even in his advanced age, Chief Ayo Fasanmi had a mind as sharp as the razor and a photographic memory of past event with undiluted clarity. He was a living library in Nigeria’s political history, wisdom, knowledge and native intelligence.
