Even in death, Chief Anthony Enahoro has continued to attract the admiration of Nigerians who appreciated his contribution to the struggle to make Nigeria a better place to live in. In this interview, the Dean of Centre for Development Studies, Covenant University, Ota, Professor Kayode Soremekun, who, like Enahoro, was an alumnus of King’s College, Lagos, recollects the life and times of the late nationalist beyond the media perception of his contribution to the making of Nigerian state.

PRESS RELEASE
Chief Anthony Enahoro – The Departure of a Great Leader
It was with great sadness that I and the communities of Movement For National Reformation received the news of Chief Anthony (Tony) Enahoro‟s death on the 15th December, 2010.
He was old enough to have died, he came and left many positive marks and as such his departure is a celebration of a life well spent. Nevertheless, it has been very difficult to accept the fact that we will never see him again. Despite the gap in our age, he was first a friend before he was a leader to me. He was the most democratic Nigerian I have been privileged to associate with. He is one leader that will be greatly missed.
My greatest regret – Enahoro
Late Elder statesman and front line nationalist, Chief Anthony Eromosele, had a major regret before he died: The inability to enthrone full-blown democracy in the country, a struggle he waged for over 60 years of his life.

(1923 – 2010)
On the 15th December 2010, light dimmed on the political landscape of our dear country. In the early hours of that day, Chief Anthony Eromosele Enahoro – politician, journalist, thinker, mentor, a rare breed amongst political leaders and prodemocracy activist, bade us farewell and went home to be with his Maker.
