Mrs. H.I.D Awolowo: A colossus of her time - APC
The All Progressives Congress (APC) 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 is 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.
