He described Nda-Isaiah as a patriotic, quintessential and dogged media guru who was passionate about the growth and development of his country, Nigeria.

Bello said Nda-Isaiah since the establishment of his newspaper in 2001, had used the medium in promoting issues that would engender peace, unity and overall development of Nigeria.

“We could visibly notice your patriotism for our great country right from the slogan of your newspaper which is “For God and Country”. You have have demonstrated uncommon passion and patriotic zeal in the defense of Nigeria through your style of reportage.

“You were a leading light and touch-bearer as far as the Nigeria’s media landscape is concerned. Your courage and fearlessness in defending the truth remain unprecedented. You have left behind a great vacuum difficult to fill”, he said.

The governor said his administration since inception in 2016, has enjoyed robust relationship with the LEADERSHIP Newspaper under the chairmanship of the Late Sam Nda-Isaiah.

He said Sam Nda-Isaiah and his medium, the LEADERSHIP Newspaper, has been very supportive in terms of effective coverage and reportage of the gains his administration has recorded over last five years.

The governor expressed the deep sympathies of the Government and people of Kogi State to the family of the late Publisher; the management and staff of the LEADERSHIP Newspaper as well as friends and well wishers of Nda-Isaiah over the sad loss.

He prayed God to grant his soul eternal rest and fortitude for his family, loved ones and well wishers to bear the irreparable loss.
