The All
Progressives Congress has described Mrs. Hannah Dideolu Awolowo, who
passed on to the great beyond on Saturday, as a colossus of her time who
will always be remembered for good.
In a
statement issued in Ikenne on Sunday by its National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said Mrs. Awolowo was an ideal
wife, a great mother and indeed a jewel of inestimable value, as her
husband once fondly described her.
”While we
understand that death is inevitable, there are times that we secretly
wish that our loved and great ones would live forever. Mama gave us
reasons for such a secret wish, with her sterling personal and public
life that made her a strong pillar behind one of the country’s foremost
nationalists,” it said.
APC
commiserated with the children, grand children, great grand children and
the entire Awolowo family, and prayed that God will take Mama into his
bosom and also give all those she left behind the strength to carry on
without her.
The party
said the best tribute that can be paid to Mrs. Awolowo was for the new
generation of Nigerian women to emulate her love of family and nation,
life of industry, selflessness as well as a strong and abiding faith in
God, all attributes that served her well and made her a colossus among
men and women.
