The speaker also said Mrs Akande's death is coming when her wisdom and words of advice are still needed.

Mr Mudashiru Obasa, Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly.

"Mama Akande was a caring and loving mother not only to her biological children but also to all of us who have come in contact with her while until her demise, she was an obedient, caring, loving, dutiful and loyal wife to our dear Chief Akande," Obasa said.
