THE AFRICAN ACTION CONGRESS COMMISERATES WITH THE FAMILY OF THE LATE CHIEF GANI FAWEHINMI OVER THE LOSS OF ACTIVIST-SON AND ERUDITE LAWYER, MOHAMMED FAWEHINMI 

The African Action Congress (AAC) extends its heartfelt condolences to the family of late revolutionary and human rights lawyer, Chief Gani Fawehinmi, on the demise of their son, Mr Mohammed Fawehinmi, ESQ.

Mohammed Fawehinmi was a brilliant lawyer with over 20 years of experience who carried on his late father’s legacy. He was the Publisher of the Nigerian Law Publications Limited as well as the Director of the Gani Fawehinmi Library and Gallery Ltd; organizations that serve as some of the powerful repositories of law, human rights, policy and development materials in the Country and by extension, Africa. 

One can also not overemphasize the efficacy of his advocacy and interventions, regardless of how knotty the issues were in our polity.

He will be greatly missed. 

The AAC sympathizes with the family and the very large community of oppressed masses, over this irreplaceable loss, even as the party continues to emphasize the need for the liberation of all oppressed Nigerians- the trademark of Mohammed Fawehinmi during his lifetime, just like his Father. 

May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
