President Goodluck Jonathan has described the death of his younger brother, Chief Meni Jonathan as “particularly too painful to bear”.
Jonathan made the statement on Saturday at Meni’s funeral, held at St.Stephen’s Anglican Church, Otuoke inthe Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa.
Meni died on Nov. 20 at the National Hospital, Abuja.
“My younger brother, Meni lived a good life, his death is particularly toopainful to bear.”
Jonathan said that traditionally, it was expected that the younger onesshould bury the older ones.
“Meni is supposed to bury me and not for me to bury him but no matter the pain, with people comingto sympathise with me and my family, it gives us hope and courage,” Jonathan stated.
Jonathan said he had ordered that Meni be flown to Abuja after he noticed that the young man was looking frail when he visited home on a Friday, sometime last November.
“This was a young man I came homeon a Friday, he came to my house, nobody carried him, he moved downjust from his house across the road. We discussed, I noticed he was a bit frail so I told him to follow us to Abuja for a medical check up.”
The President said that Meni drove himself to Yenagoa, before boarding a chopper to Abuja.
Jonathan said he would particularly miss his younger brother as he “has been covering the home front for us.”
Govs. Rochas Okorocha of Imo, Martin Elechi of Ebonyi, Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta and Peter Obi of Anambra were at the funeral.
It was also attended by service chiefs and other top government functionaries and dignitaries. (NAN)
