From Dooshima Terkura, Makurdi
The immediate past Governor of Benue State, Chief Samuel Ortom has consoled the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Patrick Abba Moro, who lost his son and grandson within the space of two days.
Chief Ortom, who expressed shock over the bereavement suffered by Senator Moro, described the incidents as a heartbreaking double tragedy that words can hardly express.
Ortom, in a statement signed by his Media Adviser/Consultant, Terver Akase, and made available to newsmen in Makurdi on Monday, said the pain of losing two family members in such quick succession is beyond comprehension.
He said the death of Victor Moro, a young man full of promise who had just completed his studies in Turkey and returned home to serve his country under the National Youth Service Corps, only for his life to be cut short in a fatal motor accident is especially devastating.
The former Governor stated that the tragedy has not only thrown the Moro family into mourning but has also brought great sorrow to all their friends, relations and associates, particularly those who know Senator Moro as a committed public servant and leader.
Chief Ortom said “This is indeed a moment of deep pain and sorrow for my brother and friend, Senator Abba Moro. No words are enough to console a father in this kind of situation. My heart goes out to him and the entire family. I pray that God, in His infinite mercy, will comfort them and grant the souls of the departed eternal rest.”
He further prayed God Almighty to strengthen Senator Moro and his loved ones and grant them the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.
