Late Madam Igali, A Quintessential Mother, Says Gov. Diri
Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has described the late Madam Patricia Igali, mother of one of Nigeria’s foremost diplomats, Ambassador Boladei Igali, as a woman whose departure would be greatly missed.
Governor Diri stated this on Tuesday when he led a high-powered delegation on a condolence visit to the Igali family in Yenagoa, the state capital.
The governor said although the deceased lived to 84 years, no age was ripe enough to lose a loved one, especially a virtuous woman like Madam Igali.

He narrated his personal encounter with the deceased, describing her as a down-to-earth woman that did not mince words....
