Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State has expressed deep condolences with the people of Ekiti on the sudden death of the Deputy Governor of the state, Mrs Funmilayo Olayinka.<\/p>\n
Dr Uduaghan also commiserated with Ekiti Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, who he noted must have been greatly affected by the death of his deputy.<\/p>\n
In a statement by Felix Ofou, his press secretary, the Delta Governor praised the courage and strength of the late Deputy Governor in the battle against cancer, adding that she worked tirelessly to please everyone until a few weeks ago when it was announced that she was proceeding on medical leave.<\/p>\n
“Not once did she betray signs of being sick. May be a few persons were aware of her health status. All we saw was a courageous and strong woman willing to please everyone.”, he noted.<\/p>\n
Governor Uduaghan described the late Deputy Governor as a calm, gentle easy going person, who identified and keyed into the projects of Governor Fayemi for Ekiti State.<\/p>\n
He particularly praised the woman for dumping a lucrative banking job to join Dr Fayemi as deputy and waiting patiently for the courts to declare them victorious at the polls.<\/p>\n
The Delta Governor prayed God to give the late Deputy Governor’s husband and family, Ekiti State and Dr Fayemi the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
