On why his
mum is different from any other mother, Kayode offered explanations “I will say she is a disciplinarian. Yes,
that actually reflects in my life. She is a very hardworking person. My mum
hates idleness. She raised us alone with no support from any of her family or
the extended family members because we lost dad quite early in life. I give
glory to God for giving her the strength to raise us alone. I can’t even find a
word to define her. She is exceptionally great. I pray that God should preserve
and protect us and let us live long enough to celebrate my mum in years to come
in Jesus mighty name”
mum is different from any other mother, Kayode offered explanations “I will say she is a disciplinarian. Yes,
that actually reflects in my life. She is a very hardworking person. My mum
hates idleness. She raised us alone with no support from any of her family or
the extended family members because we lost dad quite early in life. I give
glory to God for giving her the strength to raise us alone. I can’t even find a
word to define her. She is exceptionally great. I pray that God should preserve
and protect us and let us live long enough to celebrate my mum in years to come
in Jesus mighty name”
On his own
part, he said “I think I am one of the
closest pals of my mum because I do a lot of things with her” that is the
voice of Honorable Olatunde Bello, her second son who is equally a
politician like mum.

Bello continued “Mum is a nice woman, she is a great woman and she is my role model. I
respect her a lot as a woman and as a mother. All over the years she was the
only one that stood by us. She sent us to good schools and ensured we had the
best of education. In fact, this event was never planned to be this big, when
she told us she would like to mark her birthday, we decided it was going to be
low keyed but as you can see the outcome is highly impressive. You can see the
crowd and this is despite our crowd control strategy. It only says one thing—goodwill.
My mum has a fat bank account of goodwill and that is what is being exhausted
today”

For her last
born, Ademola Taoreed Ojugbele, happiness is the key word “I am so happy for my mom and I thank God
she is still standing trim and fit” he declared with a smile hanging on his
chin. “If you ask me what makes my mum
unique, I just think she is awesome. She is everything to me, she is my mother,
and she is my counselor and my heartthrob. For those who came for the
celebration I will say everyone should have fun” the younger Ojugbele
declared.

For Mrs.
Adesoji Adaramaja, a special aide to the celebrant, it was much of a
tribute and a song for her boss. Hear her “She
is a very nice woman, she likes everybody and in fact, I will say she is very
accommodating. That woman can give out anything; Chief (Mrs.) Ojugbele can
remove her eyes and give it to you. She is a kind woman, she is a mother, she
is my mum and I love her so much”

“You can see how women leaders came
from all over Lagos to celebrate with her, it shows who she is. I pray God will
elongate her life in order to enjoy the fruit of her labor. I won’t mind if God
can even help me prolong her life to 150 or 200 because she is an epitome of kindness”.
