We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of a remarkable woman, a devoted wife, mother, and pillar of strength *CHIEF (MRS) LUCIA ONABOWALE ONABANJO,* who lived a century and one fulfilling year. Her life was a symphony of love, sacrifice, and grace, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew her.

As the wife of the late former first Executive Governor of Ogun State *CHIEF OLABISI ONABANJO,* she stood by his side through the joys and challenges of public service and beyond, embodying a partnership rooted in love and mutual respect. Together, they navigated life's journey, and now she has joined him in the legacy of cherished memories.

Having lost her beloved husband of many years, she remained a beacon of resilience and faith, showing us all how to hold on to hope and purpose. And now, at 101, she leaves behind a wealth of stories, a tapestry of love woven with laughter, lessons, and devotion.

To the family, may you find comfort in the knowledge that she lived a full life, loved deeply, and is now at peace with her partner, the former Governor. May their bond in love continue in the hereafter.

May her soul, and the soul of her husband, rest in eternal peace. May you, her loved ones, find strength in the legacy she leaves behind—a legacy of kindness, warmth, and unwavering faith.
