Bimbo Ashiru Loses Mother, Moradehun Stages A Burial That Tells Story Of His Growing Power

According to information available

If Bimbola Ashiru, the Ogun State Commissioner for Trade and Investment, had his way as he is wont to in governance, he would have negotiated with death to name its cost and spare the life of his mother, Madam Moradehun Ashiru who died days ago. Bimbo was devastated and inconsolable. He raved and ranted about his loss, tearing and tugging at his hair.If Bimbo would define his mother, Madam Moradehun Ashiru who passed away last Sunday night, he would claim that the wall of her heart was lined with gold and silver; he would say that she lived by a moral code that dwarfed old England’s claim to chivalry and honour. Then he might say that even in her absence; that old diffident virtuosity she left behind, resonates poignantly like the timeless lyric of a heavenly chant. There are too many ways to describe Bimbo’s mother, and even the best couched adjectives couldn’t do justice to the task.

At the burial last Monday in Ijebu, the deceased definitely turned in her grave for the honour and unrivalled show of love that her beloved son attracted for her sake. It was like a state event; there were in attendance, Ogun state governor, a presidential delegation, members of the National Assembly and prominent moguls of the business community. Already, preparations are in top gear to give his mother a befitting 40-day funeral ceremony in few weeks; a committee has been set up to make sure the A-list party goes according to plan.
