Former First Lady of Delta State and one-time Miss Nigeria, Mrs Edna Ibru (nee Park) has exited.
Ibru, wife of Olorogun Felix Ibru, the first civilian Governor of Delta State between 1991 and 1992, died in her 80s on Wednesday, in a London hospital after a brief illness.
The deceased, who was Miss Nigeria 1964, and the first Nigerian/African to represent Nigeria at Miss Universe, had two children for Ibru.
The former first lady’s son, Dr. Paul Ibru, released copies of a statement from the Agbarha-Otor Kingdom in Delta State that were made available to reporters in Warri on Saturday.
“Our amazing mother passed into glory on Wednesday 15, January 2025 after a brief illness”, the statement partly read.
She lived on in abundance up until her passing, and while we never anticipated that she would leave us soon, we cannot doubt God’s plan for her life.
” She was a lover of people, a mediator, a mother to many, outrageously humorous, deeply caring, down to earth, full of stories all of the time, and we will miss her very dearly. “
