Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has described the death Princess Adedoyin Ayinde nee Ojora, wife of his chief of staff, Tayo Ayinde, as shocking and a great loss.
Mrs Ayinde died on Sunday at the age of 36 after a brief illness. She recently gave birth to her second child.
In a statement on Monday by his chief press secretary Gboyega Akosile, Mr Sanwo-Olu commiserated with the Ayinde and Ojora families, noting that it was a great loss to Lagos State as well.
He said, “On behalf of my family, my cabinet, the Lagos State Government, and the people of Lagos, I commiserate with my Chief of Staff, Tayo Ayinde on the demise of his beloved wife, Princess Raliat Ayinde.
“No doubt the death of a loved one is usually a painful episode in our lives because it is irreparable but we must always take solace in God for a good life spent by the deceased person. We should be consoled by the fact that the late Princess Ayinde lived a fulfilling life, having impacted positively on the people that came in contact with her during her lifetime.
“She impacted many lives positively as a public officer at the Apapa Local Government Area, where she served passionately and contributed her quota to the growth and development of the local government and Lagos State.
“She was a trusted partner, friend, wife, and great supporter to her husband, Mr. Tayo Ayinde and as well as a caring and loving mother to her children.
“I pray for the repose of our dearly departed Princess Adedoyin Ayinde’s soul. God will grant her eternal rest and grant the family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”
