President Bola Ahmed Tinubu extends warm congratulations to Bashorun Seinde Arogbofa, a renowned educationist and former Secretary-General of Afenifere, on his 87th birthday on March 23, 2026.
A statement the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onaunuga commends Bashorun Arogbofa for his outstanding leadership, dedicated service to Nigeria and commitment to the progressive cause.
Bashorun Arogbofa, one of the last surviving Awoists, is respected and celebrated within the progressive circle for his principled stance and consistency over the years.
As a school principal and National President of the All Nigerian Conference of Principals of Secondary Schools, he made significant contributions to elevating the standard of education in Ondo State and nationwide.
Bashorun Arogbofa is also a prolific author. In one of his books, “Understanding Afenifere,” he traces the historical journey of the Pan-Yoruba organisation.

President Tinubu prays that God Almighty grants him good health and keeps him with us for more years so we can continue to drink from his fountain of knowledge, wisdom and experience.
