Princess Awawu who died at the age of 90 left her footprints on the sands of time. Little wonder why the Executive Governor of Kwara State, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq described her as “a great mother and a consummate women community leader whose contributions to humanity were known in the ancient Oro kingdom,” in a condolence message issued on Friday, 7th May, 2021.

Extolling the virtues of Princess Awawu Adedoyin, the Chairman of Crystal House and stalwart of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Moshood Mustapha said mama was a wonderful mother who treated everyone as her children.

“The lesson that mama taught most of us is to be upright, steadfast and courageous. She will be sorely missed, especially her great admonishments”, he said.

MM prayed to almighty Allah to forgive Mama Adedoyin’s shortcomings and grant the children she left behind the fortitude to bear the loss.

Princess Awawu Ajibike Adedoyin is survived by children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
