Former Governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Kalu, has condoled with a former governor of Oyo State and National Leader of Accord Party (AP), Senator Rashidi Ladoja, on the death of his mother, Alhaja Halimotu Ladoja.
Kalu urged Ladoja not to mourn but rejoice that not only did his mother livelong enough but also lived a fulfilled life.
Alhaja Ladoja died on Wednesday night at 94.
He said: “With the quality and calibre of children, including you, left behind by Mama, we cannot regard her as dead because you are there to continue the good cause she lived and fought for while here on earth.”
Kalu, in the message signed by his Special Adviser, Oyekunle Oyewumi, said what Ladoja needed was to pray to God for strength to quickly put the loss behind him and focus on contributing his quota to the development of Nigeria, especially with the 2015 general elections in sight.
He prayed for the repose of the soul of Alhaja Ladoja and the fortitude for her family to bear the loss.
