Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has joined millions of Nigerians in mourning the demise of labour and civil rights advocate, Abiodun Aremu. The Governor described Aremu as a disciplined leader who offered selfless services to ensure the masses received better welfare.

Governor AbdulRazaq said that Aremu, who served as the Secretary General of the Joint Action Forum (JAF), would be missed for his energy, commitment, and leadership of many pro-people initiatives both in Nigeria and beyond.

The Governor made this statement on Tuesday via a release from his Chief Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye, following reports that the labour activist had died from injuries sustained during a recent accident.

"He was a titan of many struggles, a courageous teacher, and a man to whom many in the Nigerian left and labour movement deferred because of his principled positions on various issues. He led a selfless and disciplined life, and offered his shoulder for many young people to lean on as their leader and inspirer".

The Governor urges family members, friends, and associates to take solace in Aremu's legacy and prays for God to repose his soul and grant them the strength to overcome this great loss.
