Dr. Oluwatoyin Alabi has expressed profound grief over the passing of Alhaja Shiffahu Aduke Yusuf, describing her demise as a painful loss that resonates far beyond her immediate family to the wider community that benefitted from her life of dignity, compassion, and motherly guidance.

In a condolence message released shortly after news of her passing became public, Dr. Alabi extended his heartfelt sympathies to the Executive Chairman of Ifelodun Local Government Area, Femi Yusuf, and the entire Yusuf family over the transition of their beloved matriarch.

Dr. Alabi noted that the passing of a mother and family matriarch represents a deeply emotional and defining moment for any family, as such figures often embody wisdom, stability, and moral strength.

According to him, the life of Alhaja Shiffahu Aduke Yusuf stands as a testament to the enduring values of motherhood, resilience, and service to family and community.

He observed that beyond the sorrow that accompanies her departure, her legacy of kindness, humility, and devotion to family will continue to inspire those who knew her and the generations she nurtured.

“Losing a mother is one of life’s most profound experiences,” Dr. Alabi stated, adding that the vacuum created by her departure will undoubtedly be felt by her children, relatives, and all who were privileged to benefit from her warmth and counsel.

While commiserating with Hon. Femi Yusuf and the entire Yusuf family during this difficult moment, Dr. Alabi prayed that Almighty Allah would comfort their hearts and grant them the patience and fortitude required to bear the irreparable loss.

He also prayed for the repose of the soul of the deceased, asking Allah in His infinite mercy to forgive her shortcomings, accept her good deeds, widen and illuminate her grave, and grant her the highest place in Aljanah Firdaus.

Dr. Alabi further urged family members, friends, and associates of the late Alhaja Shiffahu Aduke Yusuf to find solace in the noble life she lived and the enduring values she left behind.

He concluded by praying that Almighty Allah grants the bereaved family strength, peace, and divine consolation as they mourn the passing of their beloved mother and matriarch.
