Actress and politician Funke Adesiyan has mourned the death of Angela Folarin, wife of Oyo Central Senator Teslim Folarin.
Mrs. Folarin, who was described as hale and hearty by her family, died in the United Kingdom on Friday.
Funke, in an Instagram post on the same day, said news of the death came as a shock to her.
“My mother, my sister, my friend. The news of your demise is a shock to me.
“Angela Folarin, you will forever be my gee. A friend in my corner all the way,” the actress wrote.
Like the deceased’s husband, Funke was a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC) after the 2015 general elections.
In a video posted on Facebook in 2019 to congratulate Funke on her appointment as a special assistant by President Muhammadu Buhari, Angela described the actress as “my friend and daughter.”
Both women were also close to former Oyo State Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala who died on January 21 at the age of 71.
