By Aliyu DANLADI

Hon. Muyiwa Oladipo, the Chairman of Irepodun Local Government Area of Kwara, on Saturday described the death of  Funke Adedoyin, a member of the House of Representatives, as tragic and shocking.

Adedoyin, a  Minister in the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, died in the early hours of Friday in Abuja.

She represented Irepodun/Isin/Ekiti/Oke-Ero Federal Constituency of  Kwara.

The chairman said the lawmaker ’s sudden death was a colossal loss to her family, constituency, council, her party and the state at large.

The council boss said that the vacuum left behind by Adedoyin would be difficult to fill.

Oladipo said the state had lost one of its vibrant federal lawmakers, noting that she was always ready to contribute her quota to the development of the state.

“In spite of her health challenges, she was always prepared and on top of her responsibilities with utmost priority attention to the welfare and well-being of not only her constituency but the generality of Kwarans,” he said.

Oladipo said the deceased would be greatly missed by all, especially the people of the various communities whose lives were transformed through her empowerment initiatives.

He prayed God to grant the deceased eternal rest and the patriarch of Adedoyin family, Pa Samuel Adedoyin, the fortitude to bear the loss.
