PDP Condoles Amaechi on Mother’s Demise

The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party has condoled with the Vice Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and former Governor of Rivers State, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, over the death of his mother, Dame Ezinne Mary Amaechi. The message was conveyed during a condolence visit by the National Chairman of the Interim National Working Committee, Kabiru Turaki, SAN, who led members of the party’s leadership to the former governor’s Abuja residence.

Turaki said, “Nothing prepares anybody for the loss of a parent, especially a mother. So we can only imagine the deep loss and grief that you and your family are going through. As a party on whose platform you served the good people of Rivers State as Speaker and later as Governor, we share in your grief and encourage you to be strong, knowing the certainty of death and its role as a window to immortality.”

In his response, Amaechi expressed deep appreciation for the visit and the words of condolence. He recounted the many sacrifices that his parents, especially his mother, made in raising him and his siblings. While commending the Turaki-led PDP for its resilience and defence of multi-party democracy, he stressed that unity of the opposition is the only means by which the Tinubu administration can be voted out of office in the interest of the country and its citizens. He added that the opposition must continue to explore various ways of cooperating as the election approaches, else the incumbent will have a smooth ride back to power.

In the delegation were Wonyengikuro Daniel, National Secretary; Richard Ihediwa, Deputy National Secretary; Isa Abubakar, National Treasurer; Theophilus Dakas Shan, National Organising Secretary; Abdullahi Ibrahim, Kebbi State Governorship Candidate; and Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary.
