The Kwara House of Assembly yesterday dedicated its plenary to mourn the late member of the House of Representatives, Funke Adedoyin, who died on September 28.

The motion for the dedication of the plenary for the late lawmaker was moved by House Leader Hassan Oyeleke; other members supported the motion.

The late Funke Adedoyin represented Ifelodun-Irepodun-Ekiti Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.

Paying tribute to the late lawmaker, Oyeleke described her as "humane and lover of peace and unity, who touched lives of several people positively".

Speaker Ali Ahmad and other members, who gave a flashback to the activities of the deceased, prayed God to grant her soul eternal rest and give her family the fortitude to bear the loss.

Ahmad later announced the suspension of all activities of the Assembly in honour of the late lawmaker.

Addressing the plenary, which resumed after a break for the conduct of parties’ primaries, the Speaker urged members to be more alive to their primary responsibility.

"Since the primaries are now over, honourable members should endeavour to deliver democracy dividends to the good people of Kwara" Ahmad said.
