Sanwo-Olu Consoles Rhodes-Vivour Over Mother’s Death

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has expressed condolences to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in Lagos, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, over the death of his mother, Mrs. Nkechi Stella Rhodes-Vivour.

In a condolence message issued on Tuesday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile, the governor urged Rhodes-Vivour and his family to take solace in the life and legacy of the deceased, describing her passing as the will of God.

Sanwo-Olu said although death is inevitable and marks the transition to eternal rest, it cannot erase the enduring bond shared with loved ones.

“The death of a loved one is painful, but we must take solace in God and in a life well lived by the deceased. I know this is a painful loss to the Rhodes-Vivour family, as the late matriarch will be sorely missed for the elderly and wise counsel she was known for,” the governor said.
