As wife of Bongos-Ikwue for more than 50 year goes home, President Buhari affirms that her contributions to stability of her family, sense of duty in community development, and love for God will always be remembered.

The President prays that the Almighty God will comfort the renowned musician and his family, and grant the wife and mother a peaceful rest.
