Late Edna Ibru,
Edna Ibru, the wife of the first civilian governor of Delta State, Olorogun Felix Ibru, has passed away.
The head of the Ibru family, Dr. Paul Aidido Ibru, confirmed her death in a statement released on Saturday. According to Dr. Ibru, Edna, who was also a former Miss Nigeria ambassador and the first Nigerian/African to represent Nigeria at Miss Universe in 1964, passed away in London after a brief illness on Wednesday, January 15.
“Our amazing mother, Mrs. Edna Ibru passed into glory on Wednesday 15, January,” Dr. Ibru said.
“Until her death, she was full of life, and we never expected her to leave us so soon, but we cannot question the will of God in her precious life.”
Describing his late mother, Dr. Ibru called her a lover of people, a mediator, a mother to many, outrageously humorous, deeply caring, down to earth, and full of stories at all times.
The family has announced that burial arrangements will be disclosed at a later date.
