PRO-democracy activist and economist, Baba
Oluwide Omojola, has died in Akure, Ondo State.
Omojola died while he was preparing to leave for his base in Lagos after making a presentation on behalf of PRONACO on Saturday in Akure before the Presidential Advisory Committee on National Conference.
Omojola who lodged at De Johnson Hotel, Akure, collapsed and was immediately rushed to First Mercy Specialist Hospital, Gbogi Road, Akure where he was later certified dead by Dr. Akinluwa.
He was at the forefront of the advocacy for Sovereign National Conference.
At yesterday presentation, he insisted that the PRONACO draft of Peoples’ Constitution adopted in 2007 under the leadership of late Chief Anthony Enahoro should be the working document of the proposed National Conference. He later formally submitted the draft Peoples’ Constitution to the chairman and secretary of the Presidential Committee before leaving the podium.

As a revolutionary teacher and leader, he trained and led a number of activists who are currently leading the advocacy for a new Nigeria.
