HID Awolowo stabilizing force in Yoruba, says Daniel

Ogun State Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, has described Mrs. HID Awolowo as a stabilizing force of the Yoruba race and a quiet contributor to the unity of Nigeria.

Governor Daniel in a letter he personally signed to convey the goodwill of the people and government of Ogun State to the Matriarch of the Awolowo dynasty on the occasion of her 95th birthday, described her as “a quiet contributor to the unity and progress of the Yoruba race in particular and Nigeria in general and an epitome of the best of womanhood.

Mrs. Hannah Idowu Dideolu Awolowo is a personification of the good wife, the caring mother and the woman with enough deep conviction to weather the storm of life without giving up.

Indeed, She was never overawed in the face of calculated and concerted efforts to destroy whatever Chief Awolowo stood for. She was with her husband through thick and thin. She never wavered in her support for the good cause her husband stood for.
