President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has paid glowing tribute to the late matriarch of the Awolowo family, Chief (Mrs.) Hannah Idowu Dideolu (HID) Awolowo, on the occasion of her 10th death anniversary.
In a post on his X handle, the President described Mama Awolowo as more than a wife and mother, noting that she became a pillar of courage and dignity who stood firmly beside her husband, the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, while also carrying his legacy with uncommon strength.
“Ten years may have passed, but the memory of Mama HID Awolowo remains fresh with deep respect in the heart of our nation. She was a guiding light for generations of Nigerians, showing what it means to live with faith, discipline, and love for country,” Tinubu wrote.
The President further highlighted her life of service and sacrifice, adding that her enduring legacy continues to inspire Nigerians in their pursuit of a just, united, and prosperous nation.
“May your legacy continue to live on, Mama Awolowo,” he added.
