The Governor of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf
Aregbesola, on Friday, described the death of his mother as a big blow to the
Aregbesola dynasty and womanhood.
Recall that Alhaja Saratu
Aregbesola died at the age of 84 years on Tuesday and was buried on the same
day in her residence, Ilesa, Osun state according to Islamic rites.
But while hosting the Kwara state
Governor who paid him a condolence visit over the death of his mother, Alhaja
Saratu Aregbesola, he said it was a great loss.
The governor who broke down in
tears while eulogizing his mother, said the demise had in no doubt caused him
deep sorrow, describing it as a ‘deep disaster.’
“My mother would have been 85
years in the next few weeks if she had not died, but even at 90 years, I will
not wish her dead.
“So it is a deep sorrow that I have to lose my
mother as her death was not only shocking but painful to me personally.
“Her death has made me to know
further that it is very tough to lose one’s mother, aside looking good on
camera, within me, I have a feeling of great loss, but I am consoled with the
voluminous condolences and expression of sympathies and love from all quarters.
“This is an attestation to the
fact that my mother is very happy in her new station most especially for the
expression of concerns and sympathies received across faiths and personalities
from all walks of life.
“May God translate all these
grieves, condolences to rewards for my mother wherever she is now and grant her
soul the best place in the Aljana Fridao (paradise).
“May Allah spare the lives of
those she left behind and make us live longer.”
You now see why it is not right to mock someone who is bereaved? You recently mocked the Adelekes over the death of Isiaka Adeleke. People sometimes forget that we are humans and no one is guaranteed the next breath. Because you are governor today doesn't mean you will be governor tomorrow or will even take the next breath. Did Abacha not die whilst he was Commander in Chief?
