Bayelsa State Governor, Hon. Henry Seriake Dickson has on
behalf of the government and people of the State, expressed deep shock and
regret over the sudden death of Madam Iwari Oba, mother of the First Lady of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dame (Dr.) Patience Jonathan in a ghastly
motor accident along the Elele axis of the East/West road in Rivers State.
In a condolence message to the first family, the Bayelsa
State Chief Executive, described the death of Madam Oba as a great blow and an
irreparable loss to her immediate family and the Nation as a whole, stressing
that her motherly and wise counsel will be greatly missed by all, who knew her.
Governor Dickson noted that, her demise is coming at such a
time when the First Lady and her family needed her support and encouragement
most.
He urged the First lady, the family and the Oba family of
Okrika in Rivers State to accept the unfortunate incident as the Will of GOD
and take it with philosophical calmness.
The Bayelsa State Governor, on behalf of the Government and
people of Bayelsa State prayed God to strengthen and grant Dame (Dr.) Patience
Jonathan and the entire family, the fortitude and courage to bear the loss.
