The solemn ceremony, held on Saturday, October 24, 2026, brought together people from different walks of life to pay their last respects to the deceased and show solidarity with the Aina family during the momentous occasion.
Ajadi’s presence at the burial underscored the importance of compassion, friendship and mutual respect among political leaders, particularly in moments of grief when families need the support and encouragement of friends, associates and members of the wider community.
Speaking on the occasion, Ajadi expressed his condolences to Barrister Femi Aina and the entire family, describing the loss of a mother as a deeply emotional experience that leaves an enduring mark on the lives of her children and loved ones.
He said, “The loss of a mother is a profound experience because mothers occupy a special place in our lives. They nurture us, guide us and make sacrifices that help shape the people we eventually become. Although death is inevitable, the love, values and lessons a mother leaves behind continue to live in the hearts of her children.”
The APM senatorial candidate prayed for the peaceful repose of the deceased, asking Almighty God to forgive her shortcomings, grant her eternal rest and comfort everyone mourning her passing. He also prayed that God would give the Aina family the strength, courage and wisdom to bear the loss.
Ajadi further extended his heartfelt wishes to Barrister Aina, encouraging him to draw comfort from the memories of his mother’s love, the values she instilled in the family and the positive impact she made during her lifetime.
He added, “I pray that Almighty God grants our dear Barrister Femi Aina and the entire family the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss. May the good name, values and legacy of his beloved mother continue to inspire the family, and may God bless him with good health, strength and wisdom to carry forward the responsibilities and aspirations that lie ahead.”
