The Deputy Governor of Kogi State, His Excellency, Chief Edward Onoja on the 25th of June 2020, visited the local Government areas of Olamaboro and Ankpa, at the burial ceremony of the Late Hon. David Audu Adegbe, with a matching condolence visit to the family of Hon. Ayuba Nana, on the occasion of the 8-Day prayer of his demised Father.
In both events, Chief Edward Onoja emphasized on the need to live an exemplary lifestyle worthy of emulation, whilst alive. He described the late David Audu Adegbe as someone whose loss will be felt for many years to come in the community. He further stated that life was fleeting, and encouraged all members of his family and well-wishers to learn from the deceased in living a life of purpose, impact and forgiveness. He prayed that God would assume the role of husband to his wife left behind, father to his children and seeked that the event would create an opportunity for his children to bond and unite in peace and love.
Audu was a one time Executive Chairman of Olamaboro LGA who died at the age of 70 years.
Whilst in Ankpa, Onoja expressed sadness at the death of Hon. Ayuba Nana's Father, but professed his comfort at the unshakeable legacy which he left behind.
He charged the youths to pay close attention to the lives of those who have lived well in order to learn how their contributory lives can help build a nation which they would be proud to leave for their children as well.
At his home town in Ogugu, he also paid condolence visit to the family of Mr. Paul Ajaba who lost his wife, mrs Rebecca Paul.
Other side engagements of the Deputy Governor housed unity meetings with party stakeholders, inspection of ongoing projects and heart-heart talks with the youths on the need to unite for community development.
