Southern senators want late Ekiti Assembly speaker immortalised

The Southern Senators’ Forum has urged the Ekiti State government to immortalise the late Ekiti Assembly’s Speaker, Funminiyi Afuye, who died on Wednesday after a cardiac arrest. 

The forum said the move became necessary in view of his great sacrifice and immense roles in the political development of Ekiti State before his demise.

• I was pressured to reject national honour – Kaigama
• At campaign launch: I’ll build an export-driven economy – Tinubu

The forum’s chairman and representative of the Ekiti Central Senatorial District, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, in a statement signed on behalf of the 51 senators, sympathised with the Ekiti State Government, Afuye’s family and political associates over the loss.
