The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, has sent a message of condolence to the former Speaker of the Assembly, Senator Olorunnimbe Mamora, over the death of his (Mamora’s) mother.
Senator Mamora’s mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Mamora, died on Wednesday, 17th June, 2015 at the age of 93.
Rt. Hon. Obasa, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Musbau Rasak, described the late Mrs. Mamora as a woman of virtue who inculcated in all her children, the spirit of Godliness, hardwork and honesty as exemplified by the
qualities of the former Lagos Assembly Speaker, Senator Mamora.
“Mama was a good Christian mother who taught all her children how to live in the way of the Lord and strive to excel. Former Speaker of this great Assembly, Senator Mamora was a symbolism of the teachings of this great woman,” he said.
The Lagos Assembly Speaker stated further that despite the fact that the Mamora matriach died at a seemingly ripe age, her children and close relations will still in despair because she had gone with her wisdom and motherly care.
“No matter how old, one’s parent is at the point of death, one will still mourn because nobody can play the role parents play in the life of their children and that is why at this sober period, we have to sympathise with our own Senator Mamora and the entire family on the loss of Mama.
“For the Mamora family, it is better to celebrate Mama’s life rather than mourn her death because she had led a good and fruitful life as exemplified in the children she left behind,” the Lagos Assembly Speaker said.
Rt. Hon. Obasa prayed to God to grant the deceased eternal rest while keeping the family she left behind.
