Our darling Dora would have been 60 today if she were to be alive. But she is no more – felled 37 days ago by the mortal enemy, death, on Saturday, June 7, 2014. Beloved Dora, you had eagerly looked forward to this day.
“Dearest Dora, We very sincerely admire the decent character in you and
those dreams of a golden future for Nigeria for which you were ever
ready to sacrifice your life during your days as NAFDAC DG. Without good
people in politics, good leadership will remain elusive. Thus your
hunger to make Nigeria a great brand via “Good People, Great Nation”.
“Your life was an enduring legacy of truth, courage, integrity, love of
your country, pursuit of excellence, love of your family and friends,
and total devotion to God. Your commitment to any undertaking attained
force and vigor that will surely travel through the centuries. You never
held back whatever you could do for the common good.Your numerous good
deeds, infectious smiles, peaceful but firm nature, steely personality
and motherly love are all unforgettable.No amount of darkness can
overpower the candle you lit and raised high for all to see. In pain the
children and I accept your exit.
“He who is love hath called thee home and bade thee thy labour
cease.Thou art safe in His eternal love and never ending peace. Dora,
lay down thy head on thy Saviour’s breast( as you usually did on mine
whenever you were extremely tired). Nigerians all eulogize you and
appreciate the numerous trees you planted for future generations to
enjoy. We love you dearly but God loves you more. Sleep peacefully in
His bosom. Peace, Perfect Peace, Dora The Amazon.”
