A former Governor of Oyo State, Rasheed Ladoja, has lost his wife Tinuade, who reportedly died on Monday morning, following a brief illness.
Until her death, Tinuade was an influential member of the Pastor-in-Council of the Celestial Church of Christ, the highest decision-making body of the Church.
Confirming the development in a Facebook post, the Celestial Church of Christ, Ikeja Parish 1 Cathedral, the parish she attended before her death wrote:
“It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. We submit to his will #farewell.”
Head of the media unit of the parish, Olukoya Benjamin, said: “Two days ago, she had some feelings and was taken to hospital, they said she still ate yesterday before she gave the ghost earlier this morning. She was a strong member of the women in council. She was appreciated with an award recently at their 40th anniversary.”
In a tribute by Victoria Omodudu, Chairperson of the Celestial Church Christ Women Council, wrote: “Aunty mi, Egbon mi, eyi ga ju agbara mi lo. I was at your place on Saturday, 5th October, 2024. You were hale and hearty. Jo o, Olorun .”
