Businesswoman and socialite, Hajia Tai Elemosho Okesanjo, gathered the crème la crème of Lagos society to the eight days prayer of her late mother, Madam Sifawu Ajoke Elemosho, who died at the age of 77 years. Montai had a quiet burial for her late mother but decided to roll out the drums in celebration of her life and times during the eight days fidau prayer which took place last week. Guests adhered to the white and orange colour code for the occasion. They adored gorgeous attires in different shades and forms to honour the shoe merchant. One of the highlights of the occasion was the solo performance by Juju queen, the president of Association of Juju Musicians, Ayo Balogun. Although a disc jockey was on standby to thrill guests with melodious tunes, the juju queen took over the stage and serenaded the guests in attendance.
Montai played the dutiful host by moving round the venue to ensure all her guests were well catered for. Traditional African cuisine served in cute iron pots emitting hot steam was part of the assorted dishes served at the event.
Members of the All Progressive Congress, APC where the businesswoman belongs to were solidly behind her at the fidau prayer. They came in groups and wore orange face caps with the party’s logo on it. The governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-olu also honoured the business tycoon with his presence at the occasion.
