Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq sends his condolences to family members, labour-civil rights movement, and the Nigerian left on the death of foremost ideologue Comrade Abiodun ‘Aremson’ Aremu on the evening of Sunday, October 12, 2025.
Comrade Aremu, a Kwara-born internationalist, was renowned for his pivotal roles in several ideological, pro-masses and left-leaning organisations and struggles in Nigeria, including the United Action for Democracy (UAD), Labour and Civil Society Coalition ((LASCO), Joint Action Forum (JAF), Amilcar Cabral Institute of Ideological Studies (ACIS), Nigerian Movement for the Liberation of Western Sahara, and Nigerian Movement of Solidarity with Cuba.
Governor AbdulRazaq commiserates with the family, friends, and associates of the late activist who would be missed for his energy, commitment, and leadership of many pro-people initiatives in Nigeria and beyond.
“He was a titan of many struggles, a courageous teacher, and a man to whom many in the Nigerian left and labour movement deferred because of his principled positions on various issues. He led a selfless and disciplined life, and offered his shoulder for many young people to lean on as their leader and inspirer,” according to the Governor’s statement on Tuesday morning.
The Governor urges family members, friends, and associates to take solace in the legacy of Comrade Abiodun Aremson Aremu, and prays for God to repose his soul and grant them the strength to beat this huge loss.
