“We must all die in one way or the other; it’s a price every mortal must pay on earth. It’s natural. From dust we are created, and from dust we shall return, so said the spiritual book. We have no quarel with this natural phenomenon which defies solution of human knowledge.

“But we always pray to Almighty God to live a fulfilled life before He call us home. It’s painful to see a young promising person/leader like Esther Zenab Kolawole to give up her ghost at the mid term of her life, when the state, family and women folks needed her most. May God repose her soul, and give her family the strenght and fortitude to bear this irreparable loss”, she expressed
