“One beautiful thing about Senator Adefuye is his humility despite his age. You can’t fail to notice the way he mentors the young, encourages them and creates opportunities for their growth.

“Senator Adefuye truly believes in the coming generation just as he believes in Nigeria and works assiduously for the country’s advancement as an elder statesman.

“The histories of Lagos and Nigerian politics are incomplete without a mention of his name. He was one of those who played prominent roles in the June 12 struggle when the late MKO Abiola’s presidential victory was annulled,” Dr. Obasa said.

The Speaker noted that as a member of the GAC of Lagos State, Senator Adefuye is a respected leader with a very positive mindset.
