The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has commiserated with the immediate past Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, over the death of his younger brother, Mr Tyozenda Ortom.
In a statement on Tuesday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, the FCT Minister described the death of Tyozenda as painful.
He urged the entire Ortom family to take solace in God, “the giver and taker of life”.
“The news of the death of Mr Tyozenda Ortom came to me as a rude shock and I understand the feeling of loss that must be going on in the mind of my brother and friend, His Excellency, Dr. Samuel Ortom.
“However, as painful and shocking as the death may be, I urge that solace should be taken in God, who has made death inevitable.
“On behalf of my family, friends and associates, I commiserate with you over this sad incident. It is my prayer that God in His infinite mercies will give you and the entire Ortom Adorogo family the fortitude to bear this irreparable and painful loss.”
