“Words are insufficient to condole one on a mother’s death, but I do urge you to take solace in the life that she lived. I have no doubt that mama’s impact and reach will continue to be felt through her offspring. On behalf of the great people of Kogi, my family and myself, I offer you our deep condolences.” he said

The governor also prayed for grace for the family to bear the loss, adding that the family should convey plans for her funeral to the state government.
