Just two weeks after his wife clocked 54 years, the Oyo State governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, and his wife, Florence, threw a bash last Sunday in Lagos. It was a much-talked-about party as celebrities from all walks of life graced the 70th birthday party of Mrs. Victoria Amudoaghan, who is the mother of the First Lady.
The ceremony kicked off with a thanksgiving mass at the Our Lady of Fatimah Catholic Church, Aguda and a reception held later at an event centre in Surulere, Lagos.
The governor, who said he has been an in-law for over 34 years to Amudoaghan, was the chief host and played his role well as he welcomed the First Lady, Lagos State, Mrs. Emmanuella Fashola, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Oyo state deputy governor’s wife, the state’s House of Assembly Speaker and other cabinet members.
With baby/fuschia pink as the colour scheme for the occasion, the 70-year-old great grandmother, who was dressed in a colourful native attire, was full of joy. She didn’t look an inch her age! It was an excited Ajimobi, who eulogised his mother-in-law’s qualities and satted she was of help to his family when he was newly married.
