Governor Godwin Obaseki while speaking to journalists at the venue of the event, in Benin City, described the deceased as a trailblazer who inculcated the virtues of hard work, humility and self-confidence in her children and those who came around her.

He said, “30 years on, we have every reason to thank God for Mama's life and the legacy she left behind. Today, we are remembering her, more importantly, remembering what she lived for, stood for, and the values she exhibited while she was alive. Like the Bible says, those who believe never die but transit.”
