READ Sen Ganiyu Solomon special tribute on Aturu

I received the news of your untimely exit with a heavy heart but I am consoled knowing that your life remains a reference in resilience and a testament in progressive struggle. We stood together in the common belief that the worthy life is that which places the people first. You used the law as your weapon in the battle against injustice, your oratory was matchless and your passion contagious. Fare thee well my Comrade. I cannot forget how we stood in unity against the impish annulment of June 12, you were a gem, a doyen and a great fighter. Adieu my Comrade. My deepest condolences goes to your beloved wife and children, to the Aturu family, to the Nigerian Bar Association, to the Civil Society, to all Activists who share our passion for progressive leadership,  and to the ideological left who must not relent until Nigeria makes real the promises of democracy. May God give us the grace and the fortitude to bear the pain caused by your early exit. Adieu my Comrade. Signed: Senator Ganiyu Olanrewaju Solomon (GOS)….GOS for LAGOS.
