Youth activists across several states have mourned the sudden death of the national chairman of the Movement for National Reformation, describing him as a catalyst for grassroots mobilisation and civic education. Tributes poured in on social media and at local meetings, with colleagues praising his energy, commitment to youth empowerment and efforts to broaden civic participation among young Nigerians.
Organisers of the movement said plans are underway for a memorial service and a staged handover of responsibilities to ensure that the organisation’s projects and campaigns continue uninterrupted. Members emphasised that ongoing initiatives — ranging from voter education to skills training — would proceed as scheduled in honour of the late chairman’s legacy.
Political observers and youth groups noted the void left by his passing, urging established parties and civic actors to engage with the Movement for National Reformation’s agenda to sustain the momentum it generated. Family members asked for privacy while they make funeral arrangements, and requested that supporters channel condolences into continued public service and civic-minded activities.
