By -
Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, has extended its deep condolences to the Awolowo family,
especially to its matriarch, over the death of the family's scion, Chief Oluwole Awolowo.
In a statement issued in Lagos by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
the party said it received the news of Chief Awolowo's death with great shock and much sadness, and
prayed that God will grant him eternal rest and comfort those he left behind.
It hailed the late Chief Awolowo's contribution to deepening the freedom of speech, a key ingredient of
democracy, through his great efforts in sustaining one of the country's oldest surviving newspapers, Tribune.
''Sustaining the rich legacy of the Tribune, which was founded by the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo,
is a remarkable achievement, especially at a time that the newspaper publishing industry is facing great challenges,including from the so-called New Media.
''It is therefore to Chief Oluwole Awolowo's credit, as the publisher of the irrepressible Tribune for many years,that he ensured the paper has continued to wax stronger and stronger,'' ACN said.
