Since the demise of her husband, the late Mama Awolowo has been a rallying and unifying figure for top Yoruba politicians. She was the grandmother to the wife of Nigeria’s Vice President, Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo. Top officials of the country including President Muhammadu Buhari have commiserated with the family following the demise of the matriarch.
