Mohammed Fawehinmi: Buhari Condoles With Late Activist’s Family by Kingosytex(m): 1:10pm On Aug 12, 2021
President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the family of late human rights activist, Mohammed Fawehinmi, over his death.

DAILY POST had reported that Mohammed, son of late activist, Gani Fawehinmi, died after complaining of difficulty in breathing.

A statement issued by Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said the deceased did justice to the memory of his late father.

Buhari also condoled with Ganiat, mother of the deceased, and the entire Fawehinmi family.

He urged the family of the deceased to find comfort in God, who gives and takes, and to draw consolation in the fact that the departed robustly fought a debilitating condition, which confined him to the wheelchair for many years.

The statement added that, “His body may have been broken, but his spirit was virile, agile, and he kept the flag of the family flying, doing justice to the memory of his late father.”

Buhari, when is your time? You can't continue defiling nature.

On a serious note I wish Buhari was in his 40s or 50s so that he can live so long to witness the backwardness he has put this once great nation and everyday suffer mental torture wishing he had done the right thing but his nepotistic nature blinded him. That is what is happening to all of them when they leave office. Obasanjo, Goodluck, IBB etc. Then, they will start forming useless elder statesmen and profering solutions as if they made any good use of their time.

People in power should always bear in mind that power is transient and nothing lasts forever.

For the young ones in the forum that really wanna know about the few good men our darling country has produced in the past,
The man Gani Fawehinmi is among the Top 3.
One of the few good men we have around that fought with their lives for the masses.

All of us @[b][/b] hereby present him to you in words and in pictures.


Should I be faced with a tussle between the rich and the poor, I will dig and dig, till I find the law for the poor!”....... Gani Fawehinmi.

Up until he actually started practising law, all Ganiyu “Gani” Oyesola Fawehinmi wanted was to be a successful lawyer.
But when he started practising in Lagos in 1965, he soon realised that he also wanted to affect the lives of everyday Nigerians and leave a legacy of impact. He did exactly that. 

Often representing those who couldn’t afford his services, Fawehinmi quickly became known as “the people’s lawyer,” taking on a great number of pro bono cases over the course of his career. 

Fawehinmi played the role of human rights campaigner for 40 years, constantly provoking over-mighty military rulers and defending their victims. His brushes with the authorities earned him frequent detentions and beatings.
His passport was confiscated several times, and on one occasion his books were seized and his library set on fire.

He believed in media freedom, contributed avidly to newspapers, and often took on journalists’ cases. Most notable of these was the still unsolved case of Dele Giwa, a magazine editor killed by a parcel bomb in 1986.
Fawehinmi sought to re-open the Dele Giwa case, and called on the present federal attorney general to be removed for his indifference to corruption; all from his sick bed. 

“Since independence, each successive government assumed power either by rigging elections or by military usurpation,'' he once said.
''Each rolled out tonnes of papers or promises only to settle down to the business, not of governance, but of serious looting, brigandage, perversion of values, ethnic politicisation, insensitivity, spurious economic and financial maladjustments, useless task forces.''

He died in 2009 after a long battle with cancer, still resilient as ever. 

Throughout their fighting for the common man, non of these great men below murdered or killed anybody, cos all lives matter to then,
Unlike some political sponsored animals brainwashing some jobless and foolish touts these days, turning them to murderers in broad day light. Brothers killing sisters in cold blood.


A picture speaks more than a thousand words....

But he is deaf to suggestion from person outside his political circles.
