The widower, Pastor Ituah Ighodalo, noted that it has been tough for him since his wife passed on, adding that God has been gracious to him as he was able to handle the pain well.

He said: “It’s like flying with one wing, walking with one leg, eating with one side of the mouth and hearing with one ear. But I’m grateful to my wife; she did a wonderful job. She left me with two wonderful children, packaged the whole house and sorted things out. She had looked far ahead and she made sure she left me with peace, but it has not been easy.”

A brother to the deceased, Mr. Dare Ajayi, described her life as well-ended for making an impact in the world.

“We thank God for keeping us this far, for Ibidunni, for directing our path in life and in death. We are consoled by the goodwill she left behind. I thank Ibidun for being an amazing sister for she shone her light so bright on the world,” he said.

The Lagos State Deputy Governor, Babafemi Hamzat; Ogun State governor’s wife Mrs. Bamidele Abiodun; former Ondo State governor’s wife Mrs. Funke Agagu and others attended the event.

In his sermon, Senior Minister Dipo Ajumale urged those in power to ensure they make life better for the people with the authority vested in them and make the world a better place to live.

“Death is certain and we must all prepare for it. When Mrs. Ibidunni passed away, we all died a little and we know we can never be the same again. We thank God for this happy memory. Her contribution to evangelism is unparalleled. You should always strive to make yourself relevant wherever you may be. No one misses the dishonest. Whether you like it or not ,you’re going to pass on; it is inevitable,” he advised.

Recall that the South-South under the PDP produced President Goodluck Jonathan who took over the mantle of leadership in 2010, after President Umaru Musa Yar’adua’ s death. Jonathan later contested in 2011 and won and administered the affairs of the country until the 2015 elections. He later contested for re-election in 2015 but lost to, Muhammadu Buhari, of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
