Former Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom
Former Benue State Governorship, Samuel Ortom, has expressed shock over the bereavement suffered by the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Patrick Abba Moro, who lost his son and grandson within the space of two days.
A statement by the Special Adviser to the Immediate past governor, Terver Akase quoted Ortom as describing the incident as a heartbreaking double tragedy that words could hardly express, noting that 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 (NYSC), only for his life to be cut short in a fatal motor accident is especially devastating.
According to the statement, the tragedy has not only thrown the Moro’s 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.
Ortom, who felt the pains of Moro’s family 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 prayed that the Almighty God should strengthen Senator Moro and his loved ones and grant them the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.
