Ex-Oyo Chief Whip

It was indeed the celebration of God’s faithfulness for Madam (Deaconess) Felicia Oluranti Akinmoyede as the former Chief Whip of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon. Olafisoye Akinmoyede (a.k.a. Lafi) and his siblings on Sunday 23rd January 2022 fetes other family members, friends, political associates and other well-wishers on the occasion of the 75th birthday anniversary of their matriarch.

For the celebrant, it was a thing of joy to attain such age in sound health especially, in a world filled with uncertainties of what lies ahead.

The celebration started with a thanksgiving service held at Be Prepared Evangelical Church (Area 4), behind Mope Filling Station, Lalupon, Ibadan and it witnessed words of exhortation, choir ministration, song inspiration, prayer for the celebrant and family, testimonies about the life of the celebrant and cutting of the cake.

Thereafter, reception was held for guests at an event centre located along Lalupon Ejioku Road, Ibadan where her friends and well-wishers also showered encomium on her outstanding acts of benevolence and Christian life which have greatly impacted her family and the society at large.

The Chairman of the occasion, Hon. Joshua Oyebamiji, in his speech, admonished children to always take care of their parents while alive irrespective of their status or financial capabilities. He said that the Lafisoye Family have shown a good example that it was necessary to make one’s parents happy as they are ageing and not wait till they die before one gathers people to celebrate them.

Hon. Oyebamiji, who is the Oyo Central Senatorial Chairman-elect of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former member of the House of Assembly, showered praises on Hon. Akinmoyede for deeming it fit to organise such a befitting party for their matriarch.

In his remark, Hon. Akinmoyede (a.k.a. Lafi), who represented Lagelu State Constituency in the 8th Oyo House of Assembly, appreciated every member of Akinmoyede family, friends and associates of the celebrant, and his political associates for making it to the event, stressing that their presence signified true love they have for his family.

Lafisoye, who is a House of Representatives hopeful for Lagelu/Akinyele Federal Constituency in the coming 2023 general elections, described the celebrant as a mother who is resilient, unshakable, hardworking and a prayer warrior for their family.

Dignitaries that graced the occasion included former and present political officeholders. Among them is Hon. Olajide Akintunde (A.K.T.) representing Lagelu State Constituency. Hon. Shina Alabi, former Chairman TCTC, Oyo State, political bigwigs from APC and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) at both state and local government levels, members of the celebrant’s church, traditional rulers and others.

The celebrant, Madam Felicia Oluranti Olasunbo was born into the family of Pa and Mama Adio of Ajia Village under the Egbeda Local Government Area seventy-five years ago.

At the early stage of her life, she stayed at her aunt’s (Mrs Mojereola Laisi Okoridede) place in Lalupon town where she learned the trade of cash crops while still pursuing her primary school education.

She made her living as a cash crop merchant before getting married to Pa Olasunbo Ajayi. She equally ventured into petty trading after marriage before taking her cash crop trade to the northern part of the country.

She introduced the business to all her children as well and asked them not to deviate from it no matter their chosen career in life.
