Immediate past Governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, has lost his mother, Mrs Muyinat Mimiko to the cold hand of death.
The ex-governor’s mother died on Friday night during a brief illness at her residence in Ondo town, at the age of 88.
Mr Paul Akinduro, an aide to Mimiko, who confirmed the death of the former governor’s mother, Mrs Muyinat Mimiko on Saturday, said the octogenarian died on Friday night.
He said, “The 88-year-old mother of former Governor of Ondo State, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, Mama Muinat Mosekola Mimiko, fondly called ‘Iye Ruka’ has gone to rest. We will miss her dearly.”
