Kogi Project Coordinator ACReSAL Condoles Gov Ododo Over Passing Away of His Father
The Kogi State Project Coordinator of Agro – Climatic Resilience in Semi Arid and Landscapes (ACResal), Barr. Ladi Ahmed Jatto, OON, has sent a message of condolences to Gov. Usman Ahmed Ododo over his father’s death.
In a statement issued to Newsmen in Lokoja, Barr. Ladi described the death of the Governor’s father as a loss to the entire State.
“It is with the heaviest of hearts that we in Kogi State Acresal received the sad news of the passing of Alhaji Ahmed Momoh Sani Ododo, your esteemed and beloved father, at the age of 83.
I, on behalf of the State ACReSAL, lack words to truly capture the depth of grief that comes with such a loss, but we want you to know that you do not bear this burden alone. It is a loss to the entire state.
Daddy was more than just a parent to you – he was a moral compass, a wise guide and a stabilising force whose strength and values helped to forge you into the good man and excellent leader that you are today.
His quiet sacrifices, his unassuming wisdom and his dedication to the best of family and community values are clearly reflected in the integrity, humility and commitment with which you now serve the people of Kogi State.
In moments such as this, we are reminded that life’s greatest legacy is not in material possessions, but in the children we raise and the values we pass on.
By every account, your father lived a fulfilled life, attained a ripe old age and by giving Kogi State a worthy son as Governor, he has left behind the legacy of a family name that commands respect and admiration.
We in Kogi ACReSAL mourn Baba with you and we share, deeply and personally, in your pain – for he was, in every sense, a father as well to all.
Take comfort in knowing that your father’s spirit lives on through you. Continue to honor him by leading with the same sense of responsibility, dignity and compassion that he instilled in you.
I pray Almighty God in His infinite mercy and compassion, to forgive his shortcomings and admit him into eternal rest
May he grant you and the entire Ahmed Sani and Ododo family the strength and fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
Please accept our heartfelt condolences, and be assured of my continuous prayers and unshakeable support”, the State Project ACReSAL Coordinator said.
