Gafamorg Ask F.G To Immortalize Gani Fawehinmi



Gani Fawehinmi Memorial Organization (GAFAMORG) has demanded from the Federal Government the Immortalization of a great nationalist, and a pan Africanist per excellence, Chief Gani Fawehinmi. The demand was made at the 4th Annual public lecture organized in memory of the icon and unparallel human right activist Thursday, 5 2013 at Banquet Hall, AirPort Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos State.

GAFAMORG is an organization established shortly after the unfortunate demise of Gani on Saturday, 5 2009. Speaking at the event, the National Secretary of NCP and Chairman of Gani Fawehinmi Memorial Organization, Com. Ayodele Akele in his address, after welcoming all the participants said; if Gani were to be alive, all the abnormally going on in our society today would have received the stoutest legal condemnation ever, such as the unjust imposition of daylight robbery on the masses of Nigeria in the name of fuel subsidy, the political idiocy in River State, the attempt murder of a legislator by a pro-Amaechi law makers and lots more.

Com. Akele described Gani as Nigerian Hero, a Social Crusader, Social Critic, Solid Human Right Defender and a veritable conscience of the nation, therefore Gani Fawehinmi deserve to be immortalize.

He said “In our strive to immortalize this great colossus, we want to use the occasion of this public lecture and the 4th year memorial program to remind the federal Government of our demand for the umpteenth time of the need to immortalize minimally this great human being without further delay by renaming the headquarters of National Human Rights Commission, Abuja after Chief Gani Fawehinmi as GANI FAWEHINMI HUMAN RIGHT HOUSE. And the establishment of Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Square in Abuja as a freedom square where aggrieved Nigerians, CSOs, activists can gather peacefully without any molestation to protest and ventilate their angers over bad governance.”

Pro. Omotoye Olorode, in his lecture condemned the privatization of different sectors in the country, he said; the reason being canvassed for privatization is inefficient in public enterprises, but the fact of the matter is that public enterprises are deliberate made inefficient in order to sell them for the ruling class.

He reiterated that; the Nigerian ruling class across political parties and formation have completely compromised the sovereignty of the country and Nigeria’s people but the only way to solve the abnormally in the system is to Conceptualize and Re-invention of our Movement for Liberation because it is only an organized Mass Movement can confront and defeat that class that profit from the escalating crisis generated and entrenched by neo-liberalism.   

In his reaction, com. Abiodun aremu said: the masses should stop using the word ‘if gain were to be alive’ and join the present struggle at hand, because, either we like it or not Fawehinmi has made his own contribution when he was alive, it is now the time for every one of us to meke our own contribution as well if really we want to move this nation forward.
In attendance were, the National Chairman of NCP, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, Osun State Governor who was represented by the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Civil and Public Matter, Com. Waheed Lawal, Ekiti State Governor also represented by his Commissioner for Regional Integration, Hon. Famuyi Afuye, the National Legal Adviser of APC, Muis Banire, former Minister of Petroleum, Pro.
