The Iyalode Musulumi of Egbaland, Lateefat Oyeyemi-Kolapo, has described the passing of business icon and socialite Khadijat Edionsere, also known as Cash Madam, as a huge loss to Ogun and Nigeria as a whole.
Kolapo, in a statement on Monday, said Edionsere who was the Iya Suna of Egbaland and Iya Suna of Ogun, lived an exemplary life and touched lives across divides.
“Her grace, elegance and philanthropy stood out nationwide, and anyone would be proud to have been directly or remotely connected to the late Amazon.
“It is a pity that we lost our dear Mama at a time when we desperately need her guidance on many religious and general concerns.
“But we take solace in the fact that her teachings and outstanding contributions to the development of her immediate communities, Ogun State and Nigeria as a whole, will forever be reference points, especially for women in Ogun State,” she said.
Kolapo, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Right-Dev Ltd, and Publisher of The Point Newspapers, prayed for eternal rest for the late business icon and commiserated with the Ogun Muslim community over the huge loss.
“I wish our mother’s immediate family and all those who have been impacted by her the strength to bear this deep pain of separation,” she said.
