His voice was counted and carried to Benin. Rosine Soglo, whose real name is Rose-Marie Honorine Vieyra, politician and wife of former President Nicéphore Soglo, died on Sunday 25 July in Cotonou, aged 87.
President Patrice Talon, who had strained relations with the family, greets “a brave and exceptional woman” and government spokesman “a fighter and fighter”.
His strength of character is also the memory of Jean Roger Ahoyo, former Minister of Culture, then environment and close to the Soglo family, together with RFI.
“I kept the image of a very strong woman. She has a certain courage and she has a lot of character. This is what I kept from her. He was a great political person. So his loss is a real loss, first for his party, then for his family and finally for the whole country, that’s for sure. She marked the political landscape with us and therefore her death must not go unnoticed “.
