The Task Of The Labourer Is Over: Mrs. Funmilayo Olayinka

Mrs.-Funmi-Olayinka

Today I am painfully sored. As I write this with grieving heart and from a broken heart on the passage to eternity of my dear sister, deputy Governor of Ekiti State, Mrs Funmilayo Olayinka, our own elegant stallion,heroine of repute, all of these epaulets and more well earned and deserved all through her sojourn on this side of the great divide.

The grim reaper has done its worst, leaving in its trail tears, wailings and grief! A devasted Governor, First lady,husband , children, parents, siblings and tens of thousands of political associates, friends and family.

As the flag of our state fly at half mast today signposting the demise of our deputy governor,sis mi as i used to call her most admirably and affectionately and she will reply "broda mi", I have cause to revisit our time together through the struggle for the soul of Ekiti, she bore the struggle stoically and God rewarded her, us and Ekiti with victory after three and a half years, it was this that reinforced my strident defence when her death was first rumoured gleefully by politicians, but it never turned out so, we lost this battle, but Jehova knows best. Sis mi, Ma Yeside, Adunni, the story of the rebirth of Ekiti will be incomplete without you, on this we have won, death shame unto you.

Your task is over, the labourer is free from the earthly toils. Odigba. Beauty and brain.-
