President Buhari reacts to death of Mrs. Osita Okechukwu

President Muhammadu Buhari has sympathised with the Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria, VON, Osita Okechukwu, on the loss of his wife of 30 years, Tina, aged 57.

A statement by Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman, said “The President shares in the grief of the Okechukwu family at this time of distress, asking God to console and comfort them.

“Losing a dear wife and mother, President Buhari opines, is time of deep travail for any family, particularly one who was so devoted, and a rallying force for the household.

“The President laments the loss of a true Nigerian, who had schooled in Kano, Enugu-Agidi in Anambra, her state of origin, Maiduguri, and Sango-Otta, Ogun State, thus fluent in Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa, among other languages.

“The Okechukwu family, the President says, should draw succour from God Almighty at a time like this, and take comfort in the quality of life the departed lived.”
