Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State has described the death of Kaduna State Governor, Mr. Patrick Yakowa, former National Security Adviser (NSA), Gen. Andrew Owoeye Azazi and others in a helicopter crash as devastating, saying “I am still in shock.”
Reacting to news of the deaths, Governor Uduaghan said that it was a big blow to the country particularly given the caliber of all people involved.
According to him, these are deaths too many for Nigeria and Nigerians to bear noting that this saddening development called for prayers.
“This is so sad and painful. It is devastating not just to me as an individual, but to our collective being as a nation”, he stated.
Dr Uduaghan condoled the government and people of Kaduna state, the government and people of Bayelsa state, the families of the deceased and Nigerians over the fatalities.
He prayed God Almighty to grant the souls of the departed eternal rest.
