Tinubu reveals untold truth about human rights lawyer Tunji Abayomi at 75

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has celebrated renowned constitutional lawyer and human rights activist, Dr. Tunji Abayomi, on the occasion of his 75th birthday.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President described Dr. Abayomi as a “dogged fighter for democracy” whose contributions to Nigeria’s democratic journey remain invaluable.

Tinubu praised the Chairman of Human Rights Africa and Pro-Chancellor of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Ondo State, for his lifelong commitment to justice, civil liberties, and the defence of the oppressed.

“Dr. Abayomi remains a consistent voice defending democratic rights. In the dark days of military regimes, he was a thorn in the flesh of the power usurpers, sacrificing his freedom at various times to advocate for the enthronement of people’s power,” Tinubu said.

He added that the activist has “continuously championed the rights of the downtrodden, insisting that every Nigerian deserves to speak and be heard.”
