Ngige: He’s Resting with His Creator

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has expressed shock over the tragic passing of Jide, the son of former Governor of Lagos State and leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu.

Ngige, in a condolence letter made available yesterday by his Special Assistant on Media, Mr. Nwachukwu Obidiwe, expressed sadness that Tinubu’s family and the society have been denied of assured contributions from a resourceful young lawyer.

Part of the letter read: “Jide had a bright future, and was amiable to those who knew and came in contact with him. His death is our collective loss. I am distraught and can only imagine the agony our dear Asiwaju and family have been thrown into. Why a young, bright and promising man is taken so soon is a puzzle only the Almighty can unravel. May He re-assure us of His infinite mercies and take away this grief.”

“On behalf of my family and the entire Umu-Ngige clan of Alor in Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, I send our sincere condolences on this heart-rending death. I pray that God Almighty will comfort you and your family in a special way and grant Jide’s soul eternal rest.

“He died on November 1, the day we in the Catholic Christianity celebrate the All Saints. May God therefore grant him the beatific bliss with his Saints Triumphant!”
