A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Benue State governor, Tersoo Kula described the loss of a parent as painful, but urged the Kogi State colleague to take solace in the fact that his late father instilled leadership qualities in him during his lifetime, and was also endeared to many with his devotion to Islamic tenets and community service.
He prayed to the Almighty God to forgive the shortcomings of the deceased and grant his soul eternal rest.
The late Momohsani Ododo, 83, reportedly died earlier this week after a brief illness, and has since been buried in Okene, Kogi State, according to Islamic rites.
