Bayelsa Female Politicians, Driver Buried In Four Graves by Okimski(m): 7:32pm On Feb 24, 2015 |
Tears flew like the stream on Tuesday at the burial site of Bayelsa eight prominent female politicians and a driver who died in a fatal accident that occurred on Valentine Day at Ahoada. The deceased women and the driver, Mr. Kelechi Oyenkwuru, were buried in four graves at the Gloryland Cemetery, Azikoro, Yenagoa, amidst lamentation and dirge. While the coffins containing the remains of three deceased persons were committed to one grave, others were buried in twos in three graves. The deceased politicians interred on Tuesday were three relations of the President, late Consider Amadi, a cousin; late Elizabeth Allison- Oguru, wife of the Secretary to Bayelsa State Government (SSG) and late Clara Abila. Others were – Ayakpo Otolo, Elizabeth Nisakpo, Ginbra Pamowei, Ruby Benjamin, Acha Pere- Kalama. The funeral which was conducted by the state Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Archbishop Isreal Eke, was coordinated by the Deputy Governor of the state, Rear Admiral John Jonah (rtd). Most of the mourners were dressed in black attire apart from the SSG, Prof. Oguru, and members of his household who wore white garment. The cemetery erupted in cries and wailings shortly after the remains were driven to the graveside by nine ambulances. Earlier at the special funeral service held in honor of the deceased by the government at the Gabriel Okara Cultural Centre, President Goodluck Jonathan lamented the loss of the politicians. He said the state lost eight of her best on the Valentine Day tragedy, adding that their death came as a rude shock to him. Jonathan explained that the event was initially scheduled for last Saturday but was moved at his instance to Tuesday to enable him pay his last respect to them. Paying glowing tributes to the deceased, President Jonathan said he had a personalities relationship with almost all the women involved in the accident. He described the day of the incident as a black Saturday that engulfed the entire state. http://thenationonlineng.net/new/bayelsa-female-politicians-driver-buried-in-four-graves/ |

I am always saddened by avoidable losses like this. May their souls find eternal peace and may The Holy Spirit the Comforter dwell in the hearts of those left to mourn them. Kudos to GEJ for being present. |
