The Oyo State House of Assembly has described the death of Chief (Mrs.) Justina Iyabo Ogundoyin as a rude shock and devastating at this period when her motherly roles will be more required in the legislative support of the State.
The Clerk of the House, Pastor (Mrs.) Yetunde Awe made this known while commiserating with the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin over the death of his mother.

Her statement revealed further that the death of late Chief (Mrs.) Ogundoyin has left a vacuum that would be difficult to fill up in many aspects.
She prayed that the Lord grant her soul eternal rest.
She further prayed God to give the family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss, adding that late Chief (Mrs.) Ogundoyin will be greatly missed by the immediate family, Eruwa community, Ibarapa land and Oyo State in general.
