Ondo State Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko has described the late activist and PRONACO member Baba Omojola as a committed, bold and resourceful human rights crusader and nationalist.

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Eni Akinsola he said,

“Baba Omojola represented the best of the generation of human and political rights activists who never compromised in the face of serial treachery and consistent oppression of the ruling class.

“He was dogged, committed, resourceful and unwavering. His was a life lived in moral decency, material modesty and social and political relevance.”

Mimiko asked the family to be proud of the legacies of their patriarch and be consoled by the memories of a life he said was no doubt committed to the service of the downtrodden.

He thus prayed for the repose of his soul and that God grants the family the courage to bear the loss.

PRONACO had earlier announced the sudden death of its Head of Secretariat and foremost revolutionary teacher and leader, Baba Oluwide Omojola, who suddenly slumped on Saturday, 19 October 2013 in his hotel room in Akure, Ondo State, while preparing to leave for his base in Lagos after making a powerful presentation on behalf of PRONACO in Akure before the Presidential Advisory Committee on National Conference.

“Baba Omojola who lodged at De Johson hotel, Akure where he suddenly collapsed was immediately rushed to First Mercy Specialist Hospital, Gbogi Road, Akure where he was later certified dead by one Dr. Akinluwa who was prompt in attending to him.”
