Gift Jonah who has worked with Aunty Ibiba for 16 years described her as God sent to her family and a kind hearted Boss. Madam Ibiba treats all of us as family no disparity. May God bless her and keep her for us.
Her Son Ade prayed to God to Keep his Mother safe. And told Weekenders that each day he thanks God for being the son of such a great media guru. He said if he was to choose a mother a million times it would be Ibiba DonPedro
