VON DG loses wife, President Buhari condoles him

President Muhammadu Buhari has sympathised with Osita Okechukwu, the Director-General, Voice of Nigeria, on the loss of his wife of 30 years, Tina, aged 57.
The President in a statement by his Media Office said he 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 opined, is time of deep travail for any family, particularly one who was so devoted and a rallying force for the household.
The President lamented the loss of a true Nigerian, who had schooled in Kano; Enugu-Agidi in Anambra, her state of origin; Maiduguri, Borno State; and Sango-Otta, Ogun State, thus fluent in Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa, among other languages.
The Okechukwu family, the President said, should draw succour from God Almighty at a time like this, and take comfort in the quality of life the departed lived.
