The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, has
described the death of the Matriarch of the Awolowo family, Mama Hannah
Awolowo, as the closure of a glorious chapter in a progressive family that impacted
positively on the lives of many Nigerian, ITRealms reports.
The Publicity Secretary, Lagos APC, Joe Igbokwe in a press
statement made available to ITRealms said that Mama Awolowo lived a fruitful
life that will remain indelible not only in the history of the country but on
the many lives that were positively impacted through her actions.
They also noted that Mama Awolowo complimented her husband's
progressive ideals to leave remarkable footprints on the Nigerian polity, describing
her as a hallmark of matrimonial and ideological fidelity, which served the
nation well as she lived her glorious life to an end.
"We are saddened that Mama Awolowo died just as the
fruits of progressivism yielded after several decades of reactionary dominance
of the country's politics and the corrosive effects it has had on a country
that is richly blessed with both human and natural resources. We see Mama
Awolowo as living a fulfilled life because, in her lifetime, progressivism, for
which she suffered and was persecuted with her husband, late Chief Obafemi
Awolowo, became the dominance ideology of the government in power at the
center. We have no doubt that Mama Awolowo breathed a sigh of relief with the
progressive ouster of reactionary politics got which she and her husband
suffered greatly to achieve,” APC spokesman in Lagos said.
The party equally said that Mama Awolowo was a study in
perseverance and patience as she stood solidly behind her husband in the days
of dangerous politicking in the country.
“She remained firm, unshakeable and constant in the many
years of struggle for the enthronement of progressive regime in the country and
served as a guiding light to the struggle which yielded handsomely on March 28,
2015. She stood with her husband through the pains and anguishes of fighting
for a better Nigeria and remains a yardstick for matrimonial fidelity till
death,” Igbokwe said.
Lagos APC further said has no doubt that Mama Awolowo lived
a happy and fulfilled life, which obtains in the significant impact she and her
husband left in the lives of many Nigerians that drank from the flourishing
well of achievements.
APC stressed that they still believe that Mama Awolowo had
immeasurable wealth of experience to impart at the time of her death so we
mourn her irreparable loss, reiterating that her death is a huge loss to the
Nigerian progressive family and the entire Nigerian nation.
"We pray God to grant her soul eternal rest and console
her family, friends, associates and Nigerians who stand to lose tremendously
from her demise," APC prayed.
