Bolanle Ambode, a former First Lady of Lagos State, recently waltzed into the 60s club. The day started for her on a thanksgiving note, She was treated to a surprise worship session in her home, organised by close friends and family, ably supported by her husband, Akinwunmi Ambode.
The worship session led by gospel artist, Wemimo Taiwo, was an opportunity to give thanks to God for sparing her life to celebrate the landmark age. She would later throw a party, with everything done in moderation. The party was also an extension of the worship session that was held earlier in her home. This time, another gospel artist, Yinka Alayesori serenaded the celebrant, her husband and guests with gospel tunes from her repertoire.
Quite a number of serving Lagos politicians, except former Governor Ambode’s predecessor who is also the immediate past Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola and his wife Abimbola, avoided the party.
A graduate of Physics/Mathematics from the Lagos State University (LASU), with a Masters degree (MSc) in Public Administration Mrs Ambode currently runs a thriving confectionary business and is the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Rehoboth Chops and Confectioneries Limited, known for its popular Rehoboth bread in Lagos.
