As Tony Elumelu the chairman of Heirs Holdings and Founder of The Tony Elumelu Foundation celebrated his mother at 90 years on Saturday, August 25 2018, Nigeria’s president Buhari joined the family and friends of the kind-hearted and loving mother of five, in celebrating the milestone, which is an evidence of God’s favour and grace.
The President commended the matriarch, who is fondly called Mama, for her strength of character and entrepreneurial spirit in raising a strong and healthy family, and her advocacy for good education and investment skills for children and women particularly in the country.
Buhari believes Mama’s life story of succeeding against the odds of early widowhood serves as an inspiration to many, while her virtues of the fear of God, discipline, integrity, dedication and hard work will continue to resonate among the communities of the less privileged that she supports and regularly encourages.
The President prays that God will grant Mama Elumelu, the Adadioranma of Onicha Ugbo, Delta State, long life, filled with joy and good health.
