Ben Murray-Bruce, a former senator from Bayelsa East Senatorial District, has confirmed the death of his mother, Madam Margaret Murray Bruce.
His mother died around 4.40 a.m. on Tuesday, he added.
He announced this on Twitter where he wrote, “Life. Indeed, like sand in the wind, today it’s here, tomorrow it’s gone. My mum is gone. She died at 4.40 am this morning. My gem of inestimable value, my support system, my best friend, my everything—she’s gone.
“My consolation is that in her lifetime, I gave her not just everything that money could buy, but most importantly, I gave her my presence, my time, my everything.
“On uncountable occasions, I will go to her house to hug her and play with her for no reason but love, the kind that only sons share with their mums. I love you, mum, and I miss you. This one hurts so bad. Forever yours.”
The Senator noted on Twitter that knowing he gave his mother all the care he could during her life gives him comfort.
In March 2021, Ben Murray-Bruce announced that his wife had died after a long battle with cancer.
