The status of a Nigerian Governor today does not permit late sir Patrick Yakowa to associate with a mere adviser to the president let alone attending a private burial where he met his death.

The governor viewed it perhaps late Yakowa has been used by bloodletting cultic politicians.
In his remarks chairman of the Nigerian governors forum Governor Rotimi Amaechi shortly told the family of late sir. Patrick Yakowa that after the burial of their son, father and husband, the fanfare, attraction that greeted the burial of late Yakowa will fizzle out as most of his colleagues the governors will no longer relate with the family of their late colleague.
He promised to use his good offices position and authority to do good to late Yakowa’s family.
When it was announced that the governors should all move into the residence of late Sir Patrick Yakowa for internment.it was only the host governor Dr. Ramalan Yero late Yakowa’s successor that came into his residence.
The knight fraternity, the bishops including his family members was the only people at the graveside.
