President Buhari condoles VON DG, Osita Okechukwu, on loss of wife
President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed his sympathy with Mr Osita Okechukwu, Director-General, Voice of Nigeria, on the loss of his wife of 30 years, Tina, aged 57.
His Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, stated this in a statement on Wednesday.
According to the statement, the President shares in the grief of the Okechukwu family at this time of distress, asking God to console and comfort them.
Losing a dear wife and mother, President Buhari opined, is time of deep travail for any family, particularly one who was so devoted, and a rallying force for the household.
The President lamented the loss of a true Nigerian, who had schooled in Kano, Enugu-Agidi in Anambra, her state of origin, Maiduguri, and Sango-Otta, Ogun State, thus fluent in Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa, among other languages.
The Okechukwu family, the President said, should draw succour from God Almighty at a time like this, and take comfort in the quality of life the departed lived.
