The Governor described the late Special Adviser as a humble, understanding and obedient community leader, friend and brother as well as a confidant who had supported his cause over the years.

He called on the council chairmen to be consoled by the fact that life is transient and death could befall anyone anytime, stressing that both life and death belong to God and He gives and takes any time he wishes.

The Governor stressed the need for council chairmen on the need to impact lives positively at the grassroots as committed servants, saying they would be happier if they think and work towards making the masses happy rather than thinking about self.

He prayed God to grant the Governor and the bereaved family the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss and the deceased eternal rest, adding that God would also provide a suitable replacement to move the local government system forward.
