condolence visit to Mobolaji Johnson over the
demise of his wife
– Johnson was the first military governor of Lagos
Governor Akinwunmi Ambode paid a condolence
visit to the first military governor of Lagos, Brigadier-
General Mobolaji Johnson (rtd) over the death of his
wife.
Funmi Johnson, the 76 year old wife of the former
governor passed away after a brief illness on
Saturday, February 6.
In a condolence message signed by Habib Aruna, the
chief press secretary to the governor, Ambode
described late Funmi as an epitome of humility,
uprightness and one who had passion for teaching.
He said her position as the first lady of Lagos did not
deter her from living a simple life.
"She was a virtuous woman. As wife of the military
Governor, she still went about her normal duties. She
was seen in the market, she related with her
colleagues at the Yaba College of Technology and the
Federal Training Centre as well as her friends as she
used to before her husband became Governor. That
for me is the height of humility".
Ambode urged Johnson to take solace in the fact that
his wife has gone to a better place and draw strength
from the fruitful years they shared together.
The governor visited the Lagos residence of the
former governor on Monday, February 8 in company
of his wife, Bolanle and the state attorney general
and commissioner for justice, Mr. Adeniji Kazeem.
"On behalf of the good people of Lagos, I want to
express our heartfelt condolence to the family of
Brigadier-General Mobolaji Johnson (rtd) on this
great and irreparable loss", he said.
