The Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu, has expressed sadness over the death of “yet another iconic Abia woman” and a former First Lady of Nigeria, Her Excellency, Noble Lady Victoria Aguiyi Ironsi at the age of 97.
According to the statement, the late Aguiyi Ironsi was married to Nigeria’s first Military Head of State and Nigeria’s first indigenous Army General, late General Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi Ironsi, a great son of Abia State who took up the leadership of the country at an extremely challenging time and paid the supreme price in a bid to foster the unity of this country.
“Here in Abia, Noble Lady Aguiyi Ironsi became a personification of the finest ideals of public service and a permanent resource person to successive First Ladies in our state. Till death, she carried herself with great dignity and charisma”, the governor said. According to the CPS, the Governor is grateful to God for keeping Noble Lady Aguiyi Ironsi to live up to 97 years at a time when life expectancy in Nigeria is on the decline.
