Former governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun, has mourned the passing of Princess Kadijat Edionseri, well known as Cash Madam, who died last Sunday evening at age 89.

Reacting to the news of the demise of Edionseri, Amosun in a statement by his media man, Lanre Akinwale described the octogenarian as an impressive woman of many achievements, stating that the late Cash Mama was a successful businesswoman, a socialite of repute, and a great philanthropist.

Amosun said, “Cash Madam had a larger-than-life disposition; she was an outstanding woman of etiquette and an exquisite dresser. Despite her greatness, she was open-minded and approachable.

“She was a doting mother who imbued quality values in her children and family, enabling them to become responsible members of society. She is a great loss to Egbaland, Ogun State, and Nigeria, whose kind cannot be easily replaced. The Iya Suna of Egbaland, Yewa land, and Ogun State will be sorely missed for her contributions to the propagation of Islam.

“Amosun prayed that the Almighty Allah (SWT) would grant Princess Adebisi Edionseri Aljannah Firdaus and give the children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and the entire family the fortitude to bear her irreparable loss.”
