OSUN, Nigeria – Osun State Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has lost his step mother, Olori Opeyemi Omobolawa Fola.
The governor who made the revelation on tweeter described her as an exemplary public servant, whose love for humanity shone like a million stars.
“I have just been briefed of the demise of Olori Opeyemi Omobolawa Fola. Until her death, she was an exemplary public servant, whose love for humanity shone like a million stars. She will be dearly missed”, he said.
Meanwhile, a Progressives e-Group has commiserated with the Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola over the death of his step mother, Alhaja Aishat Aregbesola.
“We receive with great shock and total disbelief, the unexpected death of step mother of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola – Alhaja Aishat Aregbesola and a woman of many phenomenal parts – Olori Opeyemi Omobolawa Fola (popularly called Olori Fola) in the early hours of Wednesday.
“The duo of Alhaja Aishat Aregbesola and Olori Fola lifestyle exemplified hard work, humility, selflessness, forthrightness and remarkable motherhood. We are bold to say without any equivocation that Alhaja Aishat Aregbesola is a complete step mother and perfect replacement as a mother to Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola after the demise of Iya Olobi – Alhaja Saratu Aregbesola exactly 134 days ago.
“Also on the other hand, Olori Opeyemi Fola was a sound technocrat, cool headed administrator, altruistic fellow and firm believer in the government of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola as well as rapid growth and development of the State of Osun.
“We can sensed the level of agony and dejection the family of Aregbesola and Fola is experiencing now. However, we urge them to take solace in the fact that the duo was able to make indelible marks while on earth which will continue to be ascribed to them even after death.
“We pray to Almighty God to grant the family, friends, associates of the deceased and the good people of the State of Osun the fortitude to bear this irreparable double loss. Good Night Alhaja Aishat Aregbesola and Olori Opeyemi Fola”, the group said.
