Peter Obi Mourns with Makarfi Kyari and Tallen Families Over Loss of Children
Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra State and 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has expressed deep condolences to the families of Ahmed Makarfi, Mele Kolo Kyari, and Dame Pauline Tallen over the tragic loss of their children.
In a heartfelt message, Obi extended his sympathies to Ahmed Makarfi, former governor of Kaduna State, on the passing of his son Faisal Makarfi, and to Mele Kyari, Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Limited, on the death of his daughter, Fatima Kyari.
He also offered condolences to former Minister of Women Affairs, Dame Pauline Tallen, who recently lost her only son, Richard Adamu Tallen.
In his statement, Obi acknowledged the immense grief of losing young family members with bright futures ahead of them, emphasizing the void such losses create.
He urged the grieving families to accept these painful events as the will of God, who holds the power of life and death.
Obi prayed for God’s mercy and forgiveness for the departed souls and asked for strength and blessings for the Makarfi, Kyari, and Tallen families during this difficult time.
He specifically wished them Aljanna Firdausi, the highest paradise in Islam, and urged the families to find solace in their faith.
Peter Obi, known for his compassionate leadership and strong faith, has been an active figure in Nigerian politics, advocating for good governance, transparency, and unity.
His message reflects his deep empathy and support for fellow public figures, as well as his strong spiritual outlook on life and death.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
