| Hon. Funke Adedoyin |
Not the very best of news to hear at all or even at anytime, that's talking about the passing, the death, the untimely demise of any, especially when they are still young enough and still have much to contribute to their society, to their immediate families and especially their country.
And so it is with immense grief in our heart that we announce the untimely passing away of the former Minister of Health of Nigeria and the 2nd daughter of the well respected and well recognised industrialist and top businessman from Agbamu, in Kwara State, Sir Samuel Adedoyin in the person of Hon. Funke Adedoyin, 56. The painful and sad occurrence occurred today, Friday, September 28, 2018 at an Abuja Hospital.
The lawmaker, a house of representatives member, representing Irepodun, Isin, Ekiti, Oke Ero Federal Constitutency, who was a Minister under the Olusegun Obasanjo administration and a very close associate of the PDP Presidential aspirant Alh. Atiku Abubakar had battled Cancer gallantly for the past 2 years, since 2016 to be more precise. At a point she was said to have overcome the long battle and had returned back to Nigeria, only for her to have suffered a relapse 3 months ago. She died today at the hospital in Abuja.
She is survived by her dad and son and many siblings. Her younger brother Ayorinde Adedoyin is the owner of Peacegate Group and one of those contesting to become the next Governor of Kwara State at the next election. She would be sorely missed. Till her death, she was the deputy chairman, House of Representative Committee on the Army.
May her beloved soul find rest and may God grant the family, friends and associates of the deceased the strength to bear the irreparable loss, most especially the dad who is 83 years old.
