Mrs. Tinuade Adunni Ladoja, one of the wives of the former governor of Oyo State and the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Rashidi Ladoja, has died.
She passed away at the age of 71 on Monday after a brief illness.
Until her demise, Tinuade was an influential member of the Pastor-in-Council of the Celestial Church of Christ, the highest decision-making body of the church.
The CCC Ikeja Parish 1 Cathedral, the parish she attended, confirmed her death in a post on its Facebook page.
In the Facebook post, the church wrote, “It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Olukoya Benjamin, Head of the Media unit of the parish 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 heartfelt message during the celebration of her 70th birthday in April last year, the former governor described Tinuade as a supportive and loyal ally.
“My feelings towards you are as it was when we met 40 years ago. I am sure it is mutual today as you have added another year,” Ladoja wrote.
“Just like vintage wine, the older the better.”
