When Ododo Mama became seriously ill and was seeking financial assistance for her medication's, many of her fellow APC supporters and political associates abandoned her, this is the woman defending APC to the core, a very loyal subject to APC in Kogi State.
While others remained silent, Omera Ugbede Opaluwa stepped in and raised support for her (huge) There were no visits, no public concern, and little effort from many of the APC heavyweights while she was still fighting for her life. Omera, take your crown π.
Sadly, when she passed away, her pictures suddenly flooded social media, accompanied by countless condolence messages from the same political figures who were nowhere to be found during her time of need.
On the day of her burial, APC heavyweights from Kogi East arrived in their white jalabiyas with convoys, paid their respects, and left. In few day's coming, it's going to be her 8-day prayers, you will now see donations, minerals, cows, and other contributions pouring in.
This is a painful reflection of our society we often celebrate people more in death than in life. True compassion is standing with people when they are alive, struggling, and in need, not only when they are gone. It is time we learn to care for one another before death comes, because support given too late can never replace a life that could have been saved. May her soul rest in peace. Ameen.
