Today is a great day for Nigeria and womanhood as our mother, Chief Mrs. Hannah Idowu Dideolu Awolowo, the Yeye Odua and ‘jewel of inestimable value’ celebrates her 98th birthday. I want to warmly on behalf of myself, my family and all Nigerians wish our mother a most glorious birthday anniversary. Mama, you have inspired millions of people around the world. Your sterling qualities of honesty and dedication have been qualities that womanhood will be proud of. To me, the service and greatness Chief Obafemi Awolowo left as great legacies was made possible by the dedicated partnership that you offered. Mama, I wish you many more years of great leadership and service to Nigeria. Happy birthday mama! May the Lord Almighty bless you for us. GEJ
