Jimoh Ibrahim returned to the news several weeks back when news of his mother’s demise hit town. The passage of the mother was no doubt painful to the Igbotako, Ondo State-born lawyer cum politician, however, he took solace in the fact that the deceased didn’t just live to old age before passing to the great beyond but equally lived a good life and left behind a good legacy.
When it was time for Jimoh to commit his mother to mother earth and bid her farewell, the money bag went all out to ensure he did this to the best of his ability and eventually, the whole affair ended in a very commendable way which will no doubt put smiles on the face of the deceased wherever she was as her son gave her a most befitting burial.
