“I sincerely condoled with him, and the entire Omehia family, over the death of their beloved matriarch. Mama lived a good life and left behind legacies of peace and love. She was a strong disciplinarian, and a devout Christian as is evidenced in the lives of her children.

“From there, I travelled to Mbaise in Imo State to also pay my last respects to the Former Minister of Education, Prof Fabian Osuji, who was laid to rest today.

“He was an illustrious Nigerian, who contributed immensely to the development of our dear nation, especially in the area of education.

“May God Almighty who called Ezinne Cecilia Omehia and Prof Fabian Osuji home, grant them eternal rest, and also the entire Omehia and Osuji families, and all of us, the fortitude to bear their irreplaceable loss.

“May God continue to protect and bless their families. -PO”
