All You Need To Know About How Oyo Speaker’s Mom Was Buried

The newly confirmed Chief Judge of Oyo State, Justice Iyabo Yerima, Ambassador Taofeek Arapaja, Senator Kola Balogun, Senator Hosea Agboola and Dr. Saka Balogun were among important dignitaries, politicians, business associates, friends and well wishers that  joined the Ogundoyin family to pay the last respect to their late mother, Chief (Mrs.) Justina Ogundoyin.

The funeral service of the mother of the Speaker, Oyo State House Of Assembly, Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin was held on Friday at Eleruwa Stadium, Eruwa in Ibarapa zone of Oyo State.

In his sermon, Father Felix Akinyode of Catholic Ibadan Diocese, appealed to Nigeria’s political leaders to prioritize the integration of unity across religious and tribal divides.

Father Akinyode, who decried the level of tribal and religious division in the country, said that late Justina’s marriage to the late business mogul, Adeseun Ogundoyin portrayed the unity that should be encouraged among citizens.

He said late Justina Ogundoyin was physically available for the work of God despite her status in the society.

While speaking on behalf of the family, Speaker, Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Adebo Ogundoyin, said the pain of the loss of a parent, especially mother was immeasurable but said he has taken solace in the fact that their mother lived a life of service to God.

“I can say it a million times, you’re a mother anyone would love to have. It is a success story for me and my siblings today because mum was there when we needed her most”

“She demonstrated uncommon inner strength and performed the arduous and invaluable roles of both parents when our Dad answered the ultimate call in 1991 precisely on the 18th of June. But mum all alone through thick and thin gave us the best parental love and care anyone could hope for.

“At a particular time, I accused her of loving outsiders more than her own children and she laughed and said “Debo, try to be kind to people and God will be kind to you” He added

Dignitaries at the event included member of the state advisory council, assembly lawmakers and lawmakers-elect, PDP southwest deputy chairman, Taofeek Arapaja, Chief Judge of Oyo state, Justice Iyabo Yerima and other personalities.
