President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed shock and sadness at the death of Barrister James Ocholi (SAN), who together with his wife and son were killed in a car crash in Abuja on 6 March, 2016.
President Buhari described the Minister of State for Labour’s death as untimely, regretting that Nigeria has lost a key component of the CHANGE agenda.


“Barrister Ocholi was an accomplished and patriotic Nigerian, who was keen to accept the call to service at a time his country needed him,” President Buhari said, adding that in the few months he had been in office, the late minister of state had already begun to distinguish himself through his commitment and dedication to his portfolio.


The late Ocholi has had a long record of political association with President Buhari.
President Buhari also consoled with the government and people of Kogi State, whom he described as having lost a distinguished and irreplaceable son. He prayed that God would comfort them and grant them the grace to bear the loss.


“The entire country mourns the loss of this great man, who has sadly left us when we need him most,” he said.
President Buhari has also sent the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Engineer David Babachir to formally convey the news to members of the deceased family as well as parishioners in his place of worship.

Sad

To quote a song by Sting Lest we forget how fragile we are. On and on the rain will fall. Like tears from a star like tears from a star

Remember to enjoy every moment of life guys and live/drive responsibly.

Rip.

Why do all good things comes to an end?

ok na

this is a clarion call to everyone

eternity may come anytime

live prepared

I pray they rest in peace

RIP

Pathetic.

Tor.

A day will certainly come, when for each one tomorrow will never come.....his is today.

@ poster above so true,

And when that day comes, hope we would be prepared for eternity

It is always good to do good, it is for ones own good because God always requires that which is past, in the place of judgment.
I hope it is fully paid for now.
Rest in peace.
