Political associates of Chief Anthony Enahoro have commiserated with the family of the late sage and the entire Benin Kingdom on the passing of the matriarch of the Enahoro dynasty and an eminent Princess in Edoland, Princess Helen Enahoro.
Enahoro, 79, passed on in Lagos on Saturday after a brief illness.
According to a statement signed by Olawale Okunniyi on behalf of the Pro-National Conference Organisation, and the Enahoro Political Caucus, Helen Enahoro was described as more than a wife to the political icon.
The Enahoro Caucus described Princess Helen as a rock of Gibraltar, standing astutely behind her husband’s political movement as well as various travails from Action Group of the 1950s to PRONACO 2000s.
Okunniyi recalled that Mama Enahoro was always at her best, giving encouragement and support to associates and followers of Chief Enahoro at trying times, especially in the face of serious political persecutions by the Nigerian state.
