Senator Daisy Danjuma Glows at 71

 Age can be the most enabling thing for the fortunate. Senator Daisy Danjuma is one such person with her golden crest of Edo State’s kismet. At 71, the good senator is a sight for sore eyes. She is still a luminary, still a figure of unprecedented influence, a lady blessed with the jubilation of a thousand admirers.

It has been a while since someone like Senator Daisy stirred the waters of public interest. A few days ago, she did just that at the celebration of her 71st birthday. With relatives, friends, and admirers delivering a deluge of goodwill to her, one is reminded that the brightness of her glow is not only in the past but continues in the present.

One can easily mistake Lady Daisy for someone in her early 50s but for her honest confession to the fact. Her breathtaking presence, even now, demonstrates to the onlooker why her husband, General Theophilus Danjuma (rtd), former defence minister, continues to be captivated by her.

General Danjuma illustrated his appreciation for her on Saturday, August 5, 2023. Hosting the guests in Lagos who had arrived with pageantry and pomp to celebrate her 71st birthday, Danjuma shared his wife’s still-enrapturing magnetism with everyone.

Those with an insight into things can understand the reason behind Senator Daisy’s glow. Her self-assurance and confidence remain as sparks to draw all attention to her. With her corporate and political achievements, it is a small thing for her to retain this richness of life.

The banking industry is currently saturated with brilliant and influential women. The brightness of these achievers once belonged to Senator Daisy. In fact, she is one of the earliest corporate Amazons to successfully port to politics. Even though her political influence was felt more deeply in Edo than in any other state, she is a beloved political character everywhere.

Thus, at 71, Senator Daisy is still her elegant self. Her influence is not that different today than what it was in the past.
