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.
