The Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, says the death of former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ghali Na’Abba and Ondo State governor Rotimi Akeredolu on Wednesday has shown the nothingness of life, which should be a lesson for political officeholders and others serving people that it is important for them to remain committed to good works.
Obi stated this while reacting to their death in a series of posts on his X account on Wednesday.
He said, “I was opportune to be close to Akeredolu as the then President of the Nigerian Bar Association, he invited me to speak at an NBA event and since then we remained close and always discussed issues about Nigeria.”
He added that while Na’Abba served as Speaker, he met with the lawmaker on several occasions and always discussed the problems of Nigeria.
“For Akerodolu, may God Almighty who called him home grant him eternal rest in His kingdom, and grant his immediate family and the good people of Ondo State, the fortitude to bear his loss.
“For Ghali Na’Abba, may God Almighty forgive his sins and grant him eternal rest and grant his family and the good people of Kano State, the fortitude to bear his loss.
“Their deaths show us, who are still serving, the nothingness of life and why we should remain firm in good works. May God grant all of us, who mourn them, and the entire nation, the fortitude to bear their losses,” the former Anambra State governor said.
