The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has paid a condolence visit to the widow and family of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. Gen Ibrahim Attahiru, who died in the tragic military air crash last week Friday.
A statement issued by Kola Ologbondiyan, National Publicity Secretary, on Wednesday, informed that the PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, who led other members of NWC to visit Gen. Attahiru’s family in their home in Abuja on Wednesday, described the late COAS as a brave and patriotic soldier, adding that the PDP is still grief-stricken over the national tragedy.
The statement quoted the party boss as saying: “We are here to commiserate with you over the departure of your husband. We received with sadness, the news of the death of your brave and patriotic husband. Nigerians are in great pains because his appointment was a relief to our nation as we believed that he had come to make a difference.
“With Gen Attahiru’s life and record of performance in serving our fatherland, it was clear that he had come with the commitment and zeal to confront and vanquish the security challenges facing our nation. His life was an eloquent testimony of his excellent service to our nation.
“On behalf of the leadership of PDP, we are here to condole with you. We assure you of our prayers at this moment of grief and we believe that God will grant you and your family the fortitude to carry this pain.”
The PDP leadership also offered prayers for the families of the other officers who died in the crash and as well prayed for the safety of the nation’s gallant men and women risking their lives, in battle, to secure the country.
