Few hours ago,the Senate President Abubakar Bukola Saraki posted on his official social media page that yesterday saturday he led some Senate to late HID's house.He said ''I led the Senate delegation to commiserate with the family of Mama HID Awolowo,the wife of the late Great sage of Nigeria,Chief Obafemi Awolowo.Our Senate delegation,which comprisedof Senators Shehu Sani,Lanre Tejuoso,Biodun Olujimi,Monsurat Sunmonu,and Gbolahan Dada was received by daughters of the deceased,Mrs Omotola Oyediran and Dr.Mrs Tokunbo Awolowo Dosunmu and other grand and great grand children of the deceased.Prayers were said by Bishop Ayo Fape.Our delegation also paid a courtesy visit to the state Governor,Senator Ibikunle Amosun in Abeokuta,to commiserate on the loss of Mama HID.In my remarks,i remembered Mama HID as a unique woman who held the forte and provided leadership in the absence of her husband for close to three decades-a feat never attended by any wife of a political leader in the country.I also remembered how the Ikenne home of Mama,during the last elections was a stopping point for all APC leaders,as her blessings and support in national elections was always critical.I also paid homage to Baba Awolowo,who has become a legend in the story of our nation,because his fight for the progress of the South West,and the country as a whole helped forge a stronger and more unified nation.Rest in Peace Mama.Thank you for your service to Nigeria''.More photos below.
