Kayode Fasehun, son of late Dr. Frederick Fasehun, says the family is devastated by his sudden death.
Dr Fasehun, founder and leader of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), died in Lagos in the early hours of Saturday after a brief illness.
Kayode, who spoke on behalf of the family, told NAN that the death had left members of his family speechless and in pains.
“We still can’t believe that Daddy is gone. He was active on Tuesday, hospitalised on Wednesday and died a few days after.
“We can’t believe this but God knows best. We wish to thank Nigerians for their support and prayers,” he said.
He said the family was consoled by the fact that Fasehun died peacefully.
“We express gratitude for the prayers and good wishes of friends, well-wishers and family,” Kayode said.
Fasehun was educated at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, and graduated as a medical professional, after obtaining his first degree.
He worked for many years at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) where he rose through the ranks to become an authority in the medical profession. He was later awarded a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD.) degree.
Amongst his many other endeavours, Dr. Fasehun was the founder of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), a pan-Yoruba socio-cultural group, Besthope Hospitals and Century Hotels, Lagos.
He later founded Frederick Isiotan Fasehun Foundation (FIFF), a non-governmental organization, which has security, unity and health as its core mandate.
