The entire Executive and members of the National Council of Nigeria Youths, Kogi State Council join the people of Ayere, Ijumu local government, Okun nation, Kogi West senatoriy district and the entire Kogi State to mourn the early sudden death of our very own, FLT. Lt A.A. Olufade who was involved in the tragic air crash that claimed the life of the Chief of Army Staff of the country and other officer’s. It is disheartening that Flt Lt Olufade who distinguished himself within a very short period had his promising life cut short in his prime and at a time his sterling qualities were most needed in the country. We will be mincing words if we say the nation has lost a gallant visionary youthful patriotic person, as this great Okun ambassador possesses a competent, excellent ability and patriotic zeal in ensuring that the war against insurgency is a battle that must be won. This embodiment of humility, uncanny knowledge, rare doggedness, wisdom and symbol of hard work and courage will be surely missed by all and sundry, especially his immediate family, darling wife, close associates and colleaques he left behind me. The entire Executive and members of National Council of Nigeria Youths, Kogi State Council join millions mourning the tragic untimely death of this promising Okun son . It is our sincere prayer that God in His enduring mercy will grant his immediate family, wife, relations, colleaques and the good people of Ayere Ijumu local government and the entire state the fortitude to bear this great loss. Com. Israel Femi Alonge State Chairman, National Council of Nigeria Youths Kogi State Council
