Remi Fani-Kayode
Victor Babaremilekun Adetokunboh Fani-Kayode (nicknamed "Fani-Power"), Q.C., SAN, CON (1921–1995) was a leading Nigerian politician, aristocrat, nationalist, statesman and lawyer. He was elected Deputy Premier of the Western Region of Nigeria in 1963〔Emmanuel Ajibulu ,("Chief Remi Fani-Kayode: The Facts and Not the Fiction" ), ModernGhaha.com, November 2009〕〔Chuks Akunna,("Re: Fani-Kayode: The Lies and Distortions of Owei Lakemfa" ),'Vanguard'', 25 November 2009.〕 and he played a major role in Nigeria's legal history and politics from the late 1940s until 1995.〔
Fani-Kayode hailed from a prominent and well educated Yoruba family who are of Ife stock from south-western Nigeria. His grandfather Rev. Emmanuel Adedapo Kayode was an Anglican Priest who had got his Master of Arts (Durham) degree from Fourah Bay College which at that time was part of Durham University in 1885 and his father Victor Adedapo Kayode studied law and graduated from Cambridge University in 1921, was called to the British Bar (Middle Temple) in 1922 and went on to become a prominent lawyer and then a judge in Nigeria. His mother was Mrs. Aurora Kayode (née Fanimokun) who was the daughter of the respected Rev. Joseph Fanimokun who had also been an Anglican priest, who had also got his Master of Arts (Durham) degree from Fourah Bay College and who later became the Principal of the famous CMS Grammar School in Lagos from 1896 to 1914.〔 This was a missionary school that was founded by Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther.〔Andrew F. Walls, "Samuel Ajayi Crowther(1807–1891) Foremost African Christian of the Nineteenth Century".〕
In July 1958 he successfully moved the motion for Nigeria's independence in the Federal House of Assembly. He argued that independence should take place on 2 April 1960〔Power in an Emergent African Nation" by Richard L. Sklar, (), ''Google Books'', p. 269.〕〔("The Truth About the Motion for Independence" ),'AllAfrica.com'', 27 September 2010.〕 (the minutes of Hansard, 1958; Richard Sklar's "Nigeria's political parties:Power in an Emergent African Nation", World Press, p. 269; p. 269; Professor Onabamiro's "Glimpses in Nigeria's History", p. 140). In 1959 there was a further motion that was moved in the Nigerian Parliament asking for a slight amendment to the Fani-Kayode motion of July 1958. This new motion, which was moved by Sir Tafawa Balewa, asked that the 2 April 1960 date for independence which had already been accepted and approved by Parliament and which had been acquiesced to by the British colonial authorities, should be shifted from 2 April of the same year to 1 October instead. This motion of amendment was passed and approved by Parliament and it was acquiesced to by the British and that is how the date for Nigeria's independence, 1 October 1960, was finally arrived at.〔

He set up the first indigenous Nigerian law firm in 1948 with Chief Frederick Rotimi Williams and Chief Bode Thomas who were also both lawyers who had been trained at Cambridge and London University respectively.〔〔 The law firm was called "Thomas, Williams and Kayode".〔Femi Fani-Kayode,("In remembrance of Fani Power" ), ''NigerDeltaCongress.com''〕 In 1970 he established another law firm called "Fani-Kayode and Sowemimo" with his old friend and partner Chief Sobo Sowemimo, S.A.N.〔
