MC Oluomo, the National President of NURTW, led the tributes, praising Faronbi for his significant contributions to the union and the community at large. "His legacy will continue to inspire future generations," Oluomo stated in a heartfelt condolence message.
Faronbi was a stalwart figure in Lagos’s transport sector, renowned for his deep-rooted involvement in NURTW's activities. His influence extended beyond transportation; he was a respected traditional leader, holding titles such as Olori Ebi of the Alagbeji Royal Family and Akinrogun of Isolo Kingdom.
In the commercial realm, he served as the Babaloja of Aswani International Market, a pivotal position that made him a key player in the local economy for decades. His funeral attracted a host of relatives, friends, and dignitaries, including Senator Ganiyu Olanrewaju Solomon and the Executive Chairman of Mushin Local Government, Tunbosun Aruwe.
Faronbi was not only a leader but also a familiar face in Lagos’s vibrant social and entertainment scenes, maintaining close ties with notable Fuji and juju musicians like K1 De Ultimate and Alabi Pasuma. His connections spanned various sectors, including real estate, although some of his ventures sparked disputes within communities.
The news of his death has sparked an outpouring of grief from politicians, transport union leaders, entertainers, and local residents, all commemorating a man who played a crucial role in shaping Lagos’s grassroots life. His multifaceted contributions will be remembered and celebrated by many.
As tributes continue to flow, the legacy of Baba Alado remains firmly etched in the hearts of those he touched throughout his remarkable life.
