If there is a leader who has remained faithful to his philosophy and ideology and is not swayed by time and chance, it is Pa Reuben Fasoranti.
Baba’s life is a great example to all. He has enjoyed constant celebration for all with, arguably, no controversy to his name despite many feathers to his cap. His humility and commitment to truth are unwavering.
I also know that Baba has a good standing with God in his Anglican faith. He still observes the prayer routine and takes holy communion every time. He is committed to the things of the Lord and always contributes his part to its development.
Baba is not a leader who never looks back to get feedback from his followers. Even at his age, besides that he is still concerned about the impact of his action on his followers, he is up to date about what they do at every point in time.
There is nothing I do that he doesn’t know and will always take the opportunity of the time he sees you to ask about you and what you are up to and offers advice as appropriate. An example of this was the last time he saw me in the church. Everything about him speaks leadership.
Baba, you have reached a great milestone in life and you have deployed the four corners of your territory to make life much easier through your leadership. You are a visionary leader and a true inspiration.
I celebrate you today as I wish you continued peace in your soul.
Happy 97th birthday, Sir.
