At the commendation service of the slain daughter of Afenifere leader Pa Fasoranti, held at Harbour Point, Victoria Island, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Friday described the late Mrs Olufunke Olakunrin as a woman of exceptional character.
He urged Nigerians to emulate her virtues.
According to him, Olakunrin was closer to the ordinary people than the rich and the mighty, noting that she did her best to better lives of those who came her way.
He said the deceased was full of compassion and quick to forgive those who crossed her path.
“To know Funke is to know an exceptional human being. People will also attest to her goodness and nobleness. She cared for the poor more than she cared for the rich. She came to be an honour to her parents any family. “This bright star was taken from us in the most terrible way.
“Funke and I shared great moments and I benefitted immensely from her wisdom. This bright star was taken away from us in a very terrible manner. “I pray that the Almighty God will give the family and the father the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.”
