I mourn the passing of Pa Reuben Fasoranti, a patriarch of the Yoruba nation, revered Afenifere leader and elder statesman, who answered the call to glory at 100. From childhood through young adulthood, Pa Fasoranti remained an ideological inspiration to me, exemplifying selfless leadership, courage and commitment to the Yoruba nation and a developed Nigeria. His legacy of service, justice and nation-building will continue to inspire generations. I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family, Afenifere and the entire Yoruba nation. May God grant all who mourn him the fortitude to bear this loss.

Yesterday, I received the leadership of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), Osun State, from Mr. Yakubu, who visited me to formally inform me about the 2026 Osun Bankers Games. Games underscore the important connection between sports and banking, particularly the shared values of teamwork, discipline, strategic thinking, and excellence. Just as success in banking requires collaboration, trust and sound judgement, sporting activities promote unity, resilience and healthy competition. I appreciate the leadership of CIBN Osun for the visit and wish all participants a successful and memorable outing once it commences.
