While condoling with the Awolowo family over the death of Chief HID Awolowo, former president Goodluck Jonathan said if not for the death of the wife of late Obafemi Awolowo, him and his wife wanted to to stay away from the public for the next 12 months.
He revealed this while speaking at the Awolowo's country home in Ikenne Ogun State yesterday September 23rd, Jonathan said they came out to condole with the Awolowo's because the late Mrs. Awolowo was a rare mother.
His words...
"Ordinarily, we wouldn’t have been mourning but mama was a rare mother.

God brought her for all of us. She just had to be the direct mother of few but she’s a mother to all. We shall mourn more than even the direct children would.”he said
