Ekweremadu Condoles With Governor Dickson Over Mother’s Death
The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has condoled with the Governor of Bayelsa State, Hon. Serieke Dickson, over the death of his mother, the late Mrs. GoldCoast Dickson.
Ekweremadu described the late matriarch as a devout Christian and leader in her own right, who rendered selfless service to God and humanity.
He said: “This is not only a heavy loss to you, the entire Dickson family, and the good people of Bayelsa State, but also to us your friends and indeed the nation. We had all prayed along with you, hoping she would return to us in good health, but the will of God supersedes our wishes.
“She will be remembered for leading a pious life of service to God and humanity and for giving to Bayelsa and Nigeria, a leader like you, who has continued to pay his dues to national development. Your kind and patriotic dispositions could only have been inculcated by a home, especially a mother that believes in national unity and being a brother’s keeper.
“On behalf of my family and constituents, therefore, I share in your grief over the sad loss and in your joy for a life well-spent”.
Ekweremadu prayed God to grant the deceased a peaceful repose and the “Countryman” Governor and the people of Bayelsa the fortitude bear the irreversible loss.
