The National Consultative Front, NCFront and the Nigeria Intervention Movement, NIM, have commiserated with the late Gani Fawehinmi family over the death of their son, Mohammed.
The groups, in a joint condolence statement issued by the spokesperson, Mr. Olawale Okunniyi, expressed shock and regret over the exit of Mohammed Fawehinmi.
The groups said Nigeria and the human race had lost a man who was a terror to the oppressors of the masses.
The groups said Mohammed was an icon and a selfless defender of people’s rights throughout his adult life as he was always challenging the excesses of government and the ruling class.
They asserted that the Nigerian civil society had lost an emerging giant in the current rescue mission of leaders of conscience and fresh breed leaders ahead of its planned 2023 intervention.
Mohammed was said to be one of the leaders of conscience, who initiated the NCFront in 2019 at MKO Abiola’s residence in company of Prof Pat Utomi, Dr Oby Ezekwesili, Senator Shehu Sanni, Comrade Isa Arẹmu, Alhaji Shettimah Yerima, Prof Anthony Kila, among others during an event organised by the June 12 Democracy Movement to chart the way forward to save Nigeria.
The groups said they would “immediately list the fiery activist in the Hall of Fame of June 12 Democracy Movement, as he shall henceforth be remembered annually on every Democracy Day in Nigeria as one of the greatest heroes of the people, who struggled for the restoration of civil rule and democracy in Nigeria.”
