The statement further highlighted Fasoranti’s political and historical relevance, noting that “The sage remained a disciple of the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo and one of the last surviving Awoists, belonging to the defunct Action Group in the First Republic and the Unity Party of Nigeria in the Second Republic, while serving as Commissioner for Finance in the old Ondo State.”

Nkwocha also said the Vice President’s visit was to convey the federal government’s goodwill, stating that “The Vice President is on the ground to express the goodwill of the Federal Government to one of the leading figures in Nigeria’s socio-political trajectory.”

Shettima, who arrived at the Akure Airport, was received by Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, and other political figures.

Ahead of the visit, security agencies had already moved to secure key locations in the state capital.

The Ondo State Police Command confirmed that it had deployed a “watertight security arrangement” to ensure safety throughout the Vice President’s engagements.
