Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, has commiserated with his Kwara State counterpart, Abdulfatahi Ahmed, over the death of his mother, Hajia Ramotalahi Ahmed.

Aregbesola said the loss of Ahmed matriarch was a huge and burdensome one, which has left a deep gulf in the family. He stated that the exit of mama was one that touches not only the immediate family but also the town and state as whole. Waxing philosophical, the governor averred that any death at all reminds human beings of the ephemeral nature of their existence, adding that death is certainly an inevitable part of human existence.

He said: "The death of Hajia Ramotallahi is one occurrence that sits heavily on the heart, considering the consanguinity of mother and children. At the same time, we also have a cause to thank Allah that Mama lived a life of a true believer and her life is worthy of emulation. Death, whenever one happens, is a reminder to us all that one day we shall all become history. We pray that Almighty Allah repose Hajia's soul in Aljana Firdaus."
