President Muhammadu Buhari announced Wednesday that Mr Fawehinmi would be posthumously conferred with the Grand Commander of Nigeria (GCON), Nigeria’s second highest honour, in an unexpected gesture that has since rippled through the nation’s sociopolitical structure. Mohammed Fawehinmi, the first son of the late activist, had said in the family’s first statement since the announcement that they would accept the GCON because it truly honoured the memory of Fawehinmi. Fawehinmi died in September 2009 after a prolonged battle with lung cancer. He was 71. His life was replete with widely-recognised acts of selflessness and remarkable moments of candour.
