Below is the short but strong worded poem prepared by Dr Adimula to extol the virtues of late Mrs Funke Adedoyin
THE EXIT OF A GREAT LEADER . . . A WOMAN COLOSSUS
She was bold
She was intelligent
She was confident
Admirable in stature, speaking and interaction
Lofty in ideas
Exceptional in implementations
Kind to the lowly
Open hands to the needy
She matched intelligence with boldness to sit among Kings and Princes, to make impacts and admirable influence
She served her constituency, our constituency, my constituency with passion
She was full of emotion for the state of her people and served them diligently
All the projects usually reserved for government she did as a Honourable
She exposed to her constituency that there is enough in the Legislature to do capital projects and impact society positively
She led in career enhancement of her people,
Employment for the youths,
Positions for people- I am a beneficiary.
Funke was tall in life
She was tall in service
She remains tall in death
What a Colossus she was!
Death where is your sting?
Grave where is your victory?
Princess Funke Adedoyin can never be forgotten in good deeds
She lives on in our hearts.
Live on dear sister, it is well with your soul.
ADIEU!
Fondly by:
Biola Adimula
