While describing her death as a painful one, the Speaker who is also the National Deputy Chairman of the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures of Nigeria, said that; ” We have lost a great and committed politician of our time. An iroko tree has fallen. She was a force to be reckoned with. She served her people passionately, her type is rare”.
“No doubt, death has robbed us of a visionary leader and a peace maker and we are going to miss her greatly, but we are consoled that she lived an examplary life. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace and May God comfort the loved ones she left behind”, the Speaker said.
