THE All Progressives Congress has
condoled with President Goodluck
Jonathan over the death of his 52-
year-old sister, Mrs. Nancy
Jonathan-Olei.
Mrs. Jonathan-Olei had died in a
hospital in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State,
during a brief illness.
The APC, in a statement signed by
its National Publicity Secretary,
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, urged
President Jonathan to take solace
in God for the unquantifiable loss.
“The All Progressives Congress
(APC) has commiserated with
President Goodluck Jonathan on
the untimely death of his sister,
urging him to take solace in God for
the unquantifiable loss,” the
statement read.
Describing the death of a loved one
as an unfathomable tragedy, the
APC pointed out that the pains of
losing a relative would be
compounded when the deceased
died at an unripe age.
“The loss of a loved one is always
an unfathomable tragedy, which is
compounded when such death
occurs at an unripe age. We pray
that God will grant repose to the
soul of the departed, comfort the
President and his entire family and
give them the strength to bear
their loss.
“We also wish the immediate
family of the deceased God’s
succour in their moment of
darkness,” the National APC
statement, which was issued in
Port Harcourt on Monday, read.
