Oshiomhole condoles with Enahoro family

Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has commiserated with the family of the late Chief Anthony Enahoro over the death of matriarch of the family, Mrs. Helen Enahoro, who died on January 28 at 79.

 In a condolence letter to the scion of the family, Mr. Ken Enahoro, Oshiomhole said: “I wish to convey to you the condolence of the people and Government of Edo State and my personal sympathy over the passing on of your beloved mother, Mrs. Helen Enahoro. Our hearts are with you and the rest of the family at this moment of grief.

 “Mama’s demise is our collective loss in Edo State. She was an authentic heroine in her own right, the moral fibre and backbone of an activist family that had contributed so enormously to democracy and development in Nigeria.

 “I have fond memories of Mrs. Enahoro as an outstanding embodiment of Edo womanhood. In my interaction with her, I was always touched by her gracefulness and the ease with which she radiated goodwill.

 “We pray that God will grant her soul peaceful repose. We also pray God to give the Enahoro and the Ediae families the fortitude to bear the loss of a loving and a worthy matriarch.”
