NIGERIANS SHOULD IMMORTALISE BABA OMOJOLA

To immortalize the late Human Right Activist, Comrade Oluwide Omojola, the general public need to continue the advocacy for the emancipation and liberation of the people which he lived his life for. This was the submission of the spokesperson for the PRO- National Conference Organization (PRONACO), Veteran Olawale Okunniyi at the service of songs and tributes held in respect of Baba Omojola at Indoor Sports Hall, National Stadium, Surulere. He described Com Omojola as a selfless leader who believed in breaching the gap between the poor and the rich and said that he never reached a compromise while alive and died fighting for what he believed in.

In the same vein, the President Women Arise for Change Initiative, Dr Joe Okei Odumakin said Baba Omojola believed in the Nigeria that works, and fought towards achieving a just society. She spoke further that Baba Omojola  could be said to have lived a fulfilled life with the fact that he died in the struggle and working towards the attainment of his ideologies and visions. She encouraged young comrades to keep the tempo of Baba Omojola moving. She also made her firm believe known about the fact that Nigerians will soon realise  that they should stand for their rights and demand for it.

Speaking from Baba Omojola's socialist ideology, Barr Femi Aborisade made a call to the Nigerian citizens not be satisfied with the economic ideology being practised in Nigeria, instead they should work towards achieving an egalitarian society.

The funeral programme which took place from Monday through Friday, with various programmes on each day, witnessed the presence of Governors, Human Right and Political Activists, Religionists and different Activist group across the Nation. With this, Baba Omojola could be said not to be limited to fighting for the Yorubas as many people opined, but a man of all people, an internationalist.
