Your Excellency, on behalf of the people of Kogi West, we identify with you on this moment of grief. We admonish you, and the entire Ododo Family to, as mere mortals submit to the tenets of Almighty who gives and takes when He wills.
Finally, I pray that Almighty will forgive his shortcomings, repose his soul, and grant him eternal rest, Amen.
