> Death has struck again in the land--this time in
> the
> highest seat of power claiming the First Lady, Mrs
> Stella Obasanjo. The news of her death in a Spanish
> hospital was broken to the nation yesterday
> morning,
> while the fate of 114 passengers and crew of an

> daughter of the Special Adviser to the President on
> National Assembly Matters, Senator Florence
> Ita-Giwa,
> where she did not only look hale and healthy, but
> also
> danced to the melodious music played at the event.
> And
> Thursday last week, Ogun State Governor Gbenga
> Daniel
> decorated her as the patroness of the Gateway 2006.
> That became her last public outing.
> Stella, who would have been 60 next month, was born
> in
> Warri, Delta State, on November 14, 1945 and is the
> first of seven children born to the distinguished
> industrialist and administrator, Dr. Christopher
> Abebe
> and his wife, Theresa. Her father is the first
> indigenous chairman of United African Company Plc.
> She attended Our Lady of Apostles Primary School,
> Yaba, Lagos, from 1955 to 1959. In 1960, she
> enrolled
> into St. Theresa's College, Ibadan, and passed the
> West African School Certificate in 1964 and
> completed
> her Higher School Certificate (HSC) in 1966, also
> in
> the same school.
> She proceeded to the University of Ife now Obafemi
> Awolowo University, where she read English from
> 1967
> to 1969, but she dropped out of the university to
> pursue a course in Insurance Studies in the United
> Kingdom between 1970 to 1974 and also trained as a
> Confidential Secretary at Pitman's College, London,
> in
> 1976. That year, she married Obasanjo, then a
> serving
> general.
> Though, gone to the celestial realm, Stella already
> has a place on the pages of Nigerian history. Since
> May 29, 1999 when Obasanjo was sworn-in as civilian
> President, Stella registered her presence on the
> nation's social and political landscape.
> But even long before then, she had made her way
> into
> the hearts of several Nigerians following the solid
> support she gave to her husband during the fathom
> coup
> saga of the late General Sani Abacha era. Her
> presence
> at various local and international workshops and
> symposia at that period, although the Abacha regime
> frowned at such gatherings, kept the fire of the
> agitation for the release of her husband burning.
> Also during the Jos convention where Obasanjo
> secured
> the nomination of the Peoples Democratic Party
> (PDP)
> as flag-bearer for the 1999 presidential election
> and the party's 2003 presidential primaries, Stella
> showed
> her support in a special way. She sat beside her
> husband throughout the night until the results of
> the
> votes were announced in his favour.
> In 1999, many had thought she would stay in the
> background based on Obasanjo's remarks on the role
> he
> envisaged for her. Reacting to journalists question
> on what role Stella would play under his Presidency
> shortly after he was elected, Obasanjo simply said
> "she will be my wife." His remarks were further
> confirmed by Stella, who, while responding to a
> question on what role she would play during her
> husband's tenure said "the president has said I am
> going to be his wife. That is what I am going to
> be."
> But all that changed barely three months into the

> a
> private, non- profit, non-governmental organisation
