She arrived the Ekiti State political firmament unheralded, but she left in blaze of glory after breathing her last on Saturday, 6 April following a long battle with cancer.
OlufunmilayoAdunniOlayinka was born to Chief Festus ObafemiFamuagun, a native of Ado-Ekiti and Mrs. Grace AdetutuFamuagun, who hails from Ido-Ekiti at Ile-Abiye Hospital and Maternity in the Ekiti State capital on 20 June, 1960.

Having sojourned outside her community on academic and professional pursuits which took her as far as the United States of America where she bagged her first and second degrees and a banking career spanning 21 years, she returned home to serve her father land.

This writer remembered that day in January 2007 when she was unveiled as running mate to Dr. KayodeFayemi, at the state secretariat of the then Action Congress (AC) in Ado-Ekiti by the party chairman, Chief Olajide Awe.
